False. Not that it matters since you're wrong, but I'm no Marxist. Not a fan of authoritarianism.
Nope. People being employed by other people is MUCH older than capitalism and present in most economic systems.
Wrong again. Do you eb know what the word "capital" means? 🙄
You almost couldn't be more wrong.
Under-regulated capitalism, which is the purest form and the kind dominant in for example the US, inevitably leads to the already powerful consolidating and abusing their power, taking away the choices of workers.
It also leads to exactly what you say it doesn't: chasing short term gains at the expense of everything else, including the long term survival of humanity.
