Exactly. People are too wedded to the idea that capitalism "needs protecting" from some boogeyman. Capitalism will probably be better off if we actively oppose it instead of pretending that it's wise. It's an evil system BECAUSE it's similar to evolution. There's no "invisible hand," only self interest that ignores externalities and generational consequences.
