Comment on When we explain to other people how our capitalist system works and they recoil in horror

Feudalism is based on slavery and genocide. Capitalism is based on industrial development yielding a compounding rate of return.
Its a historical stage of economic development every society ultimately passes through. Again, go back and read Das Kapital. Go pick up a copy of Piketty’s Capitalism in the 21st Century. Get a book on Lenin’s NEP or Dengism or the modernization of Castro’s Cuba. Even the most staunch leftist cannot escape the materialist need to industrialize.
