To anyone who supports capitalism or otherwise opposes socialism:

Do you support the idea that one man can accumulate enough wealth to own all land of this Earth, making everyone born in his empire under his rule as long as he can kill to defend it? What prevents capitalism from accomplishing this in law? What law exists that limits the borders of nations?

Why, then, must we endure a system where a single man owning the Earth and enslave it is a feature, not a bug?

I just wanna know what people think. Why must this be maintained? Why is any opposition to capping wealth just the end of the world when it probably would save it, just logically thinking it through?

    a few people hold the capital

    Capitalism does not enforce a minimum amount of population holding capital, so it can be reduced to 1. Feature, not a bug.

    Capitalism is the same as every other system that’s gone before

    Every other system? How many systems do you think we have observed in all of human history? What do you believe to be the earliest system ever devised?

    No other system ever increased the minimum amount of people owning capital to be higher than a few?

      Okay, you just want to argue with someone, and for some reason you picked me today, even though we substantially agree.

        I fundamentally disagree that capitalism is like every other system ever done before, that is all I am saying. I need evidence that capitalism being the same as every other system is true, and I lack it. This is part of why I posed my original question. Why are people seemingly not be able to fathom a single system that can replace capitalism?
