    Imagine thinking capitalism was the final way of organizing human activity. Like in 10,000 years people will still be having to pay rent to the space landlords (spacelords?), and pay some guy who owns the oxygen machine for the right to breath.

        Imagine keeping available resources artificially low so that you can manipulate people into thinking they are scarce and valuable.

        So you're inventing monopoly/oligopoly conditions to make your point in favor of this fantasy utopia where everyone freely shares.

        I love how you free market morons always call a world where people freely share resources utopian but at the same time insist that a market economy where no monopolies form is definitely achievable

        Given a market of finite size, "perfect competition" is impossible, as there are only a finite number of competitors and a finite number of options, and the success of a single actor will tend to shrink the number of competitors until monopoly is achieved.

        Since not even the universe is infinite, it thus follows that the ideal capitalist market, with "self-regulation" via constant competition is also impossible.

        If we’re talking European Christian medieval vision, I’d say they believed that Judgement day will come before any notably different future, so why bother? The Revelation is a vision of future, of sorts.

        Probably. That's a lot less sad than how pro-capitalists see it though.

        I mean that's a fair point. I guess this is one of those things that happens on twitter where the character limits keep people from making conditional statements. It's the plight of our age let me tell you.

        In my defense, when making this I was trying to be as loose and generous as possible with my definition of "capitalism" and lowball just how far back "recorded history" could be reasonably interpreted to go haha.

        Haha, fair enough! I actually kind of forgot it said "recorded history", so your estimate is probably closer than mine. Anyway, I liked the meme.
