I see that mindset in mega-corps, but at the smallest of scales... one can wash a car or fix a bike and add value to (and thus grow) the system, which logically means it's not closed/finite.
Capitalism is not based on the notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.
what's that? is it an airplane? is it a rocket? no, it's Captain Obvious !!
Here I thought it was based on the fact that humans are the worst and it is best to harness what little you can lest they take everything.
I don't know what cancer has to do with a closed environment. More like a failed "ecosystem in a jar*.
The body of an organism is a closed environment. It can be seen as an ecosystem of lots of different cells that live with in this environment. Cancer is just a mutation that allows some cells to replicate and spread through their environment in uncontrolled fashion.
In abstraction, chemotherapy is the idea of "have you tried turning it off and on again" for the immune system.
“Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you capitalists do not. You move to an area and you exploit and exploit until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Capitalism is a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure.”
