@nova Define “capitalism.”

I say this because it’s a word that variously refers to two very different things:

(1) •systems effects• (emergent, recurring, not even limited to humans) vs

(2) a •value system• (consciously constructed, historically situated, quasi-religious).

People conflate these.

If we mean (1): these systems effects will always emerge; regulating them is good and necessary.

If we mean (2): regulation may mitigate a malevolent value system, but can’t fix it.
