Which one of them is unlearning capitalism though
9We should study Capitalism so that we may know it's contradictions and what must be done to move beyond it.
8Exactly. Knowledge in power. And we have to empower people, not make them compliant to anything by making them work 16h/day just for survival.

-2The issue really is not capitalism, it is too much centralization due to poor capitalism management. Saying we should unlearn is ridiculous as what is the alternative that also does not lead to centralization and all the issues it brings with it. The more we point the finger at capitalism, the more we are not focused on the real enemy of too much centralization regardless of the political or economic system.
-12You don't seem to understand what capitalism is. Capitalism is not the market, it specifically refers to the economic model in which the means of production are privately or corporately owned (as opposed to collectively) and development occurs via the accumulation and reinvestment (aka redistribution) of wealth by the same.
Centralization is the crucial component of capitalism. Saying that the problem is centralization and not capitalism is like saying the problem with dictatorships is dictators and not dictatorship. You could say that if companies would just behave and reinvest/redistribute their wealth fairly and equitably then capitalism would be great, but you could also say that if we just had a benevolent dictator then dictatorship would be great. Accountability must be built into the system.
9That is me entire point. Accountability must be built in and too much centralization needs to be managed or the beast will grow into a monster and impact all negatively including itself in the long run. Lots of ways to manage, but like all centralized systems, they tend to become corrupt over time and don’t kid yourself that other systems where the means are owned by the people as they suffer from the same issue. Centralization is the enemy here not capitalism per se.

You have a lot of unlearning to do 😊

It's not poorly managed, you are suggesting that poorly managing capitalism wound improve it.
Capitalism only has one metric, capital, the goal is to consolidate it as much as possible. And that is a limited strategy that can properly work only in the short term (but as any system, it will defend it's existence above all, even logic).
1What? I am saying better managing it would improve it. Higher taxes the more you make. Caps on company sizes. Strict regulations with consequences that actually mean something if broken. There are ways to manage. We just choose not too. What is the better alternative as every system has it pros and cons but all of not managed right, lead to bad outcomes. Maybe it is impossible as fundamentally humans and human nature are at the core.
