Yes, be hungry, subjugate and conquer.

Because that's who we are.

That's what we are.

Capitalism harnesses that better than any other economic model on earth.

Everything we have is because of capitalism because someone had an incentive to get

up off his ass to out invent, to out earn, yes, and to subjugate others, less capable, less

intelligent, less ambitious, less lucky to make those capitalistic dreams come true.

Here are the competing ideas about capitalism that we most often hear today.

Capitalism has ushered in an era of unsurpassed technological advances and prosperity,

inspired innovation, and made the United States the most powerful and awesome nation in human history.

In doing so, it has decisively won the battle over socialism.

Or, capitalism by design creates massive inequality, destroys the planet by consuming natural resources,

abuses the working class, and co-ops the political process for its own self-serving interests.

The only possible outcome of capitalism is that it collapses in on itself.

Here's the truth. They're both right, if you think the system we live in is truly capitalism.

Only it's not. There's a lot to unpack here on fuckers.

And this episode is sort of a warm up on future episodes where we unpacked a true meaning behind the ideologies we argue over, and how we miss under fuck most of them.

Like how socialism, communism, fascism are used interchangeably by your mouth-breathing red state uncle who collects

Social Security and Medicare and doesn't understand irony.

So join me on a brief history of economic theory as we unfuck capitalism on this episode

of Unfucking the Republic.

Oh, my friends, we are fucked.
