What I find interesting is how people literally cannot see any alternative besides, "This is just the way capitalism works", which implicitly acknowledges "capitalism is the only way it can work".

Reminds me of this quote from Mark Fisher:

"Observing humans under capitalism and concluding it's only in our nature to be greedy is like observing humans under water and concluding it's only in our nature to drown."

Spot on. Our thinking on these matters is more adherence to faith than reason. We are stuck in a collective meme.

A belief system that centers around human well being sounds more reasonable than *unbounded* capitalism. We know it, we don't know what to do with it.
