"OK so look, Capitalism is right wing.
Period.
If you are pro-capitalism, you are Right Wing.
There is no pro-capitalist Left. That’s a polite fiction in the US that no one can afford any longer as the ecosystem is actually collapsing around us."
Capitalism is not a market. Markets have exactly nothing to do with capitalism.
Capitalism is not only not needed before total post scarcity, it prevents it as capitalism requires artificial scarcity to function.
Markets and capitalism usually appear together, but don’t require each other. You can have markets with just worker owned coops just fine.
For capitalist enterprises a free market is undesirable. A monopoly, duopoly, cartel serve to control the market in order to maximize profits.
