Capitalism is imo so hard to remove because it's a system that evolved out of our base biological nature. It's a system very close to what's "natural" if we didn't have much education or philosophy.
We have the possibility to think about better systems and ways to inhibit our base nature, but that requires effort and a willingness to do that. I think capitalism is what comes out if you don't do this.
I notice in myself all the time the impulses that fuel capitalism. To acquire more resources. To better my status. To be selfish at the expense of others. I have to work actively against them to live my life in a way that I think is right, and I still fuck up often. Unless everyone understands this and does the same, this system will stay.
Umm, no it's not "natural". I mean sure hoarding is natural, but so is taking care of each other. Disciplining or expelling greedy fucks is also natural.
The stock market is completely un-natural in almost every thinkable way.
Bro's ten words away from talking about lobster evolution.
Ahhh, lemm.ee.
How surprising.
I don't understand anything you said, sorry.
Well, it has a lot to do with "conservative" (fascist) dogwhistles and the culture of faux-rationalism they've built around people like Jordan Peterson as he preaches a sociopathic doctrine of bootlicking and heirarchy worship but there's a whole ecosystem to unpack there so I'll just leave this short video by Cody Johnston instead, because I think he does the best job of laying out the case in an easy to digest way overall:

Yea, i don't care about that.
Bro what the fuck are you talking about
The OP parroted Peterson's manifesto that "capitalism is the natural heirarchy."
You really should be more aware of these things if you're going to join the commie instance, it's actually embarrassing for you to not recognize it immediately.
I've literally never read/seen anything by Jordan Peterson.
Oh, you'll love him then, since he pretends to believe everything you said oh so coincidentally.
Enjoy hanging out with all the Nazis!
