          The capitalist system promotes greed to an extreme extent.

          People aren’t greedy by nature. It’s the circumstances that are the problem.

            How do you know people are not greedy by nature? Wasn’t it people who invented capitalism?

              Elites invented capitalism. Those who already controlled most resources.

              Greed develops if individuals and groups get the possibility to capture way too many resources without any limits or consequences.

                People let those other people control resources, could it be because they shared the greed and thought they would benefit more from it by letting that happen?

                  Yeah sure , nobody in history resisted occupiers who came to steal their ressources. You think it’s easy to win against powerful people?

                  People let those other people control resources

                  Who would be able to take it away from them? They’ll do everything possible to keep them. Move it, buy politicians, etc.

                  could it be because they shared the greed and thought they would benefit more from it by letting that happen?

                  You mean trickle down and that bs?

              According to anthropologists, for the vast majority of human history, humans operated based on gift economies. Money is a much more recent invention. Capitalism is an even more recent invention.

              Humans existed for around 200,000 years.
