The idea that capitalists are “greedy” is interesting. I’ve only actually seen cartoon top-hat type greed among crony capitalists. I.e. it’s a feature of “socialism for corporations” economies. The freer the market the more the players are driven by things other than greed.

These may be no better than greed (eg power, cruelty, sociopathy, revenge...), but point is, greed is not actually a good drive to have for capitalist success. It compromises your ability to compete intelligently. It’s a second-rate motive for second-rate business minds.

Like Frank Underwood notes, choosing money over power (or almost any of the dark drives) is the mark of a loser. If socialists want to really defeat capitalists they should start by recognizing that greed ain’t the driver of their toughest adversaries.
