    You don’t need capitalism to suck, though. The Spanish conquistadores were slavers and genocidal murderers but they certainly weren’t capitalists.

      Every system finds ways to shift the blame. What they need are folks who drink the cool aide. Currently it‘s capitalism.

      That doesn’t mean capitalism isn’t any less cruel

      In fact it allows for blind institutional cruelty that no one has to take responsibility for.

      In a very real way, more people have died from capitalism than ever suffered at the hands of the inqisition

      But go ahead and keep trying to handwave the horrors of capitalism
