Capitalism and socialism are but two systems of resource distribution.They evolved at a time when humans operated under an economy of scarcity i.e. not enough resources to go around.We now find ourselves in an economy of surplus where scarcity is artificially propagated.
Capitalism alienates us from our labor in four major ways: 1. We do not own what we produce. 2. Assembly line production makes us machine like. 3. We have no say in the production process. 4. Not even allowed to take naps at work WTF.

I agree somewhat but actually the creation of artificial scarcity was always part and parcel of capitalism, to maintain willing wage workers who needed to work to survive. See these excerpts of Perelman's The Invention of Capitalism.pic.twitter.com/krXJyd8W0g

I wasn't sure I hated Capitalism, but number 4 made me sure as hell that I do.

Capitalism doesn't allow naps as, the more tired we get, the less likely we are to incote a communist revolution. Right now my heart wants a revolution but my body is like 'I don't know, a nap would be good though.'

I love the part where you were forced at gunpoint by the state to take the job.

The fourth of these is cultural, and is not universal amongst capitalists countries, I think? I think some countries see maps at work normal

By "capitalist countries" I meant "countries that I think you would call capitalist". Usually I don't describe a country in those terms.
