Adam Smith agreed with you in the 1600s when he thought up the system. He specifically said that capitalism couldn't be the end goal, but he wasn't aware of what the end goal would be, just that it would necessarily benefit the people, not the rich.
Well, comrade smith maybe fucked up.
He didn’t fuck up, and his work is important in early leftist literature.
The fuck up was everyone after him not listening except to the bits they wanted too.
I think on some subjects, when writing publicly, that really needs to be considered.
