The main reason why capitalism has proliferated is because capitalists slaughtered everyone who opposed it at first. Millions killed across all of Europe, simply for defending their homes and common land from being taken by the Church and aristocracy.

After resistance was crushed, and people no longer owned anything, they had no choice but to work as slaves for capitalists. Ever since then, they have constantly been pitting us against each other, and we've had no choice but to play their game, since otherwise it's homelessness or death.

People tend to be a whole lot less selfish if they don't need to struggle for survival, and if they're not brainwashed into thinking it has to be this way from early childhood.

In every single study and poll, results consistently show that close to nobody supports capitalism, and nearly everyone is perfectly willing to share fairly, so that we can all live well.

Selfishness is not human nature. At least not for the majority of people. Cooperation, sharing, and helping others are. It might not be obvious, because capitalists have been forcefully beating it out of us for the last 500 years.

But it doesn't matter. Capitalists hold all the power, as they've always had, and will sooner die than let any meaningful change take place. Governments would rather order the military to shoot protesters than listen to any anti-capitalist points.

We're not allowed to question anything about capitalism. It's the worst, most destructive religion anyone has ever come up with and forced onto others, built on the most asinine dogmas possible.
