Its hard to decry the evils of capitalism when there’s never been any other successful systems. Id like to hear your thoughts.

This’ll be a doozy.

    What a strange thing to say when every fiat currency in history prior to our current crop of them has eventually gone to 0. We live in fragile, temporary bubbles of wealth concentration largely funded on violence and grift and inflated vastly beyond reality by credit and debt, ones that turn out to be largely illusion when the boss decides to close shop and skip town, not “the only successful system”. I agree it is the dominant system and it has essentially destroyed any of the other possible ones at this point.

      But you don’t need a fiat currency to operate a capitalist system. You also don’t need a capitalist system to implement a fiat currency.
