Capatilism is Objectively Superior to any other form of Governace.

[Leo Gura]

Capitalism is really defined by the modern banking and stock market systems. Banks generate loans (capital) for corporations. And corporate stock is traded publically.

That's what techncially distinguishes capitalism from old fashioned barter.

Truly nothing better than this system has yet been invented. Marxists have no clue how to replace this system with something better.

I wonder if capitalism is necessary due to low conscious individuals. The big problem with a state-run economy is that there are so many variables that experts often miss the finer details (think about how Polymarket predicted the 2025 election while Alan Lichtman failed). This is known as the economic calculation problem. Furthermore, an economy run by the state can easily be manipulated by politicians for their own ends.

Many leftists on the internet actually call for a decentralized economy which is more based on cooperation rather than competition. Whether this can work in any current society is yet to be seen. This is oftentimes referred to as democracy in the workplace. Running with this analogy, we know that democracy didn't work so well in countries in which it was imposed from the top-down like Afghanistan and Iraq. It's also delivered mixed results in Tunisia which democratized without foreign intervention.

The bad news is that stage green isn't as popular as it makes itself out to be.
