Capitalism will always necessarily lead to authoritarianism, because cutthroat dominators will always be the ones to rise to the top of any capitalist system.
There's this notion that those who rise to the top of capitalism are not only as good as normal people, but actually better. And of course the exact opposite is true. Those who rise to the top of capitalist systems are those who are sociopathic enough to do anything to get ahead.
Billionaires are not good stewards of society. They are not kind. They are not wise. They aren't even really smart. They just figured out how to diddle narratives and numbers in a way that funnels them money and power. They are empty parasitic middle-men, and they are conmen.
I mean look who rose to the top of a capitalist system in the most powerful nation on earth. This is what you get. Imagine thinking that a system which elevates such a creature to the very top of the most powerful society can ever be of service to human health and harmony.
