    Capitalism has always been broken.

    But an underlying problem is the pseudo-scientific ideology of “economics”. It’s what fuels these kind of dumb questions. Nothing broke. The denial of human needs has always been a feature, not a bug.

        Honestly they aren’t entirely wrong, there’s basically two types of economics financialization which is basically all bullshit and proper economic systems which is things like production, logistics, and services. You could probably burn the entire financialized side of the system down and it’d probably help the overall real economy in the long term hell it’d probably help in the short term if not the immediate.

        Some people think religion is real too, but it’s only real because people believe in it.
