You can see where one ends and the other begins if you look with the right eye. Taking what people would be doing anyways and forcing them to do it for your own gain. With that framing, you can see how serfdom, and slavery all become progenitors to modern day capitalism. It’s evolved with the times and always found a way in. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before.

    Capitalism comes from nature and is kind of what humans have been doing since day 1.

      That’s just the natural progression of Humanism. Now try to separate out what capitalism is, and you’ll see what I’m saying.

      Capitalism only comes from nature in so far as humans came from nature and humans created capitalism. It is no more natural, nor any less harmful to nature than plastic.

      It also wasn’t something we made up day 1. Capitalism isn’t even that old.

        Capitalism feels very related to natural selection.
