Capitalism isn’t evil. It isn’t good. It’s just a very powerful self-replicating structure that is totally indifferent to the happiness and long-term future of human beings. So many people have an irrational belief that if you worship it, and propitiate it, it will take care of you.

I just can’t believe how irrational it is. It’s like the most naive form of sun-worship. Logic: “the sun gives us warmth and light. The sun is the source of all that is good. As our form of worship and gratitude, let’s lie in the sun until we get cancer and stare into the sun until our eyes burn out.”
