that’s a great analogy but I think we need to differentiate between #capitalism and #ultracapitalism
The latter is the cancer you are talking about where companies *need to* have VC funding, *need to* have 40%+ annual growth and *need to* voraciously eat every competitor (and customers, like amazon!) and give nothing back (ie zero tax).
I think a moderate form of capitalism is possible and even needed if enough regulations are in place and monopolies are thwarted when apparent.
