People really do love to try and tie every world issue into one thing, when the fact of the matter is that things like “the patriarchy” or “capitalism” are just tools of the oppressor and not the oppressor themselves.
It doesn’t matter what ideology you run a society with if the people are the top are all shortsighted, self interested ideologues.
People accosiate monarchs with oppression for a reason.
People were shitty monsters before capitalism, and after too. People have been people regardless of economic system.
Society start to become unwell only when the few monsters get power, especially in a unbalanced way.
And yes some monsters have and always will try to get it, but i don’t think it’s very relevant here…
Capitalism is a very powerful way for them to use our economic system to get their power, hence why it’s a problem in itself.
And that’s also why we could have hope for a system where they can’t get power. Democracy is one solution, although limited, for example.
Humanity has put monsters in charge since the beginning. There are monsters in charge of all of us right this second.
