No. Capitalism in an of itself isn't evil, being a capitalist doesn't make you evil. Capitalism can run amuck, it needs some regulations to stop monopolies and psycos who only care about power, but that is the good thing with capitalism - you CAN regulate it. With communism, the government controls everything, and the regulators can't regulate themselves. Psycos and narcissists in capitalism are bad, but in communism, they always rule because they have less competition between them and the top - a single communist authority is over run by them almost immediately (even if they aren't the ones driving it from the very beginning for the sake of manipulation and power). Meanwhile in capitalism, a large more or less self adjusting system is more robust, provided it stays a system and not monopoly - it's the singular power that breaks it in both cases. Mao was a fucking nutter, his literal policy was pretty much to let his people die in the millions, because they had millions more anyway. He utterly devastated traditional Chinese culture and history, devastated the Chinese people, for communism, for power, for control - which because psycos and narcissists always wind up at the top in communism, that is all communism ultimately is about in practice. Mao was truly evil, and not definitely not a capitalist.

@Jose Suarez Badass lady! ❤️

I do enjoy that a nation with no naval fleet, is destroying Russia's.

A and B. Yes. Them calling themselves Antifa is an insult - they are fascist to their bones.

@Jewish Samantha That works in a cash-less society, a society with limitless resources, a society without narcissists and psychopaths, or a society where rewards means nothing. But reward, having fruits of our labour either in the form of something we ourselves can get benefit from, or money*, is needed for satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment, without which we loose drive to work as it feels meaningless, a waste of time and effort (*preferably cash in hand, it affects the brain differently to digital money). And then there are narcissists and immoral psychopaths who abuse and take over a communist system almost immediately, exploiting it and everyone under it for their own wealth, status, and sense of power, while a capitalist system is less vulnerable (it still gets ruined by them once monopolies become a factor, but it it still doesn't get hit as hard as communism does). Every country that has tried communism has wound up with extreme wealth disparities between the vast masses of extremely poor people, and the ultra wealthy ruling class, and pretty much nothing in between them. Even from pure economy management, communism fails. Communism is a top down centrally controlled system, and those always, always fail once you get past maybe eighty people, two hundred at the absolute max in my estimation, because a single governing body can not handle that much constantly shifting complexity, it always breaks, people always suffer, people die. A system larger then a small village needs it component parts to move and operate like an organism, elements acting and reacting to each other more or less independently within a framework according to need and innovation, not a doll on a single puppet string.

On a universe scale, determinism - everything has a cause, nothing is random. nature nurture, who and what we are, our experiences, it's all informs what we do, think, feel - that is us, if we were different, we would not be making our choices, we would be someone or something else. Speaking of choices, on a human level, that is a concept we psychologically need to be healthy. So, I use strategical in-box and out-of-box thinking. In normal every day life, I use in-box thinking where choice matters. But, if I need to get to figure out root causes, I employ deterministic thinking to help me figure it out, and stop me thinking "this is just how things are".
