A cartoon depicts a chasm with a rope bridge, once connecting both sides, cut and hanging from the side of the cliff, sabotaged by a suit standing on the well forested right side beside a spool of rope and holding a saw. The left side of the chasm is a wasteland of sawn tree stumps. There’s a sign that reads “Please return saw and rope when done”. An empty box sits beneath the sign. The suit calls out to a person in the wasteland on the left side of the chasm “BUILD YOUR OWN DAMN BRIDGE LIKE I DID!” The person in the wasteland replies “WITH WHAT?! “

Not defending capitalism, but this is not capitalism, this is just a person being a sociopath.
The capitalist stand-in character privatized common resources. Which is the definition of Capital.
Sure, but in every centralized political and economic system, regardless of what you want to call it, some have more control than others and will exploit when they think they can get away with it.
