Very well said.

Capitalism is completely incompatible with justice, equality, peace, freedom and the sustainability of the planet and the human species.

"First principles, Clarice. Simplicity. Read Marcus Aurelius. Of each particular thing ask: what is it in itself? What is its nature?" The nature of capitalism is to exploit and destroy everything in the name of profit. That is a feature, its primary feature, and not a bug.
