The difference is surviving species reach equilibrium typically. Humans won't do that in a capitalist system.

I don't think that's a fair comparison.

An ecosystem contains many species at equilibrium, but the ecosystem itself consumes all available resources.

Similarly, companies within a capitalist system maintain a kind of equilibrium, but the system itself will consume all available resources.

Explain how an ecosystem consumes all available resources.

This seems obvious to me. By definition, an ecosystem includes all inputs.

Well explain it like I'm an idiot.
