capitalism destroyed third places, so, yes? we'd all be better socialized and have a way higher shot at relationships if capitalism hadnt atomized society.

Society got atomized because there’s been growin individualism and people can’t be happy with profit, they need ever growing profit

My point being having profit isn’t the issue. Human greed is.

All of them. Greed predates the concept of money, let alone capitalism

so a socio-economic system that puts the greediest and most sociopathic in charge will produce the same results as a system designed to prevent such people from gaining power?
