I find that part of being intellectually curious and a good engineer is questioning systems.

If we had a systems architecture in an engineering project that kept leading to bad results, we would consider rearchitecting how said system is run.

I believe it is important to make it clear to people that capitalism, too, is just a (imo deeply flawed) systems design. It is not a natural constant. If we find it leads to negative outcomes (which I strongly believe), we can and should talk about rearchitecting.

What people describe capitalism is really just monopolies. Capitalism meanwhile is an utterly useless label. People have their own conception of what capitalism mean.

Monopolies are connected to the housing crisis as to privileges like copyright. They're unwarranted or undertaxed government granted privileges.
