*Capitalism is [cancer](cancer.md) of society.* *Capitalism is [cancer](cancer.md) of society.*
Capitalism is the worst economic system we've yet seen in the history.^[source](logic.md) Literally based on pure greed, abandoning all morals and putting profit above everything else including preservation of life itself, capitalism fuels the worst in people and forces them to compete and suffer for basic needs. Capitalism is anti-progress, anti-technology, anti-freedom, supports immense waste of resources, wars, abuse of people, destruction of environment, invention of [bullshit](bullshit.md), [torture](marketing.md) of people and much more. Capitalism is the worst economic system we've yet seen in the history.^[source](logic.md) Literally based on pure greed, abandoning all morals and putting profit above everything else including preservation of life itself, capitalism fuels the worst in people and forces them to compete and suffer for basic needs. Capitalism is anti-progress, anti-technology, anti-freedom, supports immense waste of resources, wars, abuse of people, destruction of environment, decline of morals, invention of [bullshit](bullshit.md), [torture](marketing.md) of people and much more.
Capitalism produces the [worst imaginable technology](capitalist_software.md). It also inevitably leads to societal [collapse](collapse.md); in capitalism people own nothing and become wholly dependent on corporations which exploit this fact to abuse them. No one own anything, products become services (your car won't drive without internet connection and permission from its manufacturer), all independency and decentralization is lost in favor of a highly fragile and interdependent economy and infrastructure of services. Then only a slight break in the chain is enough to bring the whole civilization down. Capitalism produces the [worst imaginable technology](capitalist_software.md).

The principal problem of capitalism lies in its **primary and only goal of self-benefit**, i.e. maximization of capital, combined with the fact that the environment of free market is a system with **Darwinian evolution** which through natural selection extremely effectively and quickly optimizes for the given goal, i.e. profit, on the detriment of all other values such as well being of people, sustainability or morality. In other words capitalism has never promised a good society, it literally only states that everyone should try to benefit oneself as much as possible, i.e. defines the [fitness function](fitness_function.md) purely as the ability to seize as many resources as possible, and then selects and rewards those who best implement this function, i.e. those we would call sociopaths or "dicks", and to those is given the power over society. In other words we simply get what we set to achieve: find entities that are best at making profit for any cost. The inevitable decline of society can not possibly be prevented by laws, any effort of trying to stop evolution by inventing artificial rules on the go is a battle against nature itself and is extremely naive, the immense power of the evolutionary system that's constantly in work to find ways to bypass or cancel laws in the way of profit and abuse of others will prevails just as life will always find its way to survive and thrive even in the worst conditions on Earth. The problem is not that "people are dicks", it is that we choose to put in place a system that rewards the dicks, a system that fuels the worst in people and smothers the best in them.
