You don’t have to be anti-capitalist to recognize that global capitalism has been weaponized, used too often as a tool by which to subjugate the poor. As many lives as it has lifted out of poverty it has thrown into despair.

Isn’t the design of the system literally “extract all possible value from the labor of the working class”? Hard to describe a cruise missile as “weaponized” when it does the only thing it can do

No, actually. That’s like saying traffic is inherently dangerous. There are traffic laws for a reason.

Extreme poverty didn’t exist in early societies. Capitalism will simply allow for people to starve in the face of a surplus of food. It will allow for homelessness when there is a surplus of homes.
