Well, for one thing war tends to destroy a lot of capital, and then people who still have capital can use that capital to make even more capital re-building the capital they blew up.
Is shit like that really necessary anymore? We’re kinda past the days of guys in top hats smoking cigars who own coal mines, the rich today have like 200 different financial Ponzi schemes that make them money and even if they fuck that up the government can just print them money. On top of that the rich today seem to have accepted they’ve reached the upper limit of decadence, it’s not like getting 10% richer is going to unlock the holodeck research tree or anything, now they’re just either pursuing clout or building bunkers in New Zealand to fuck off to.

yes, nothing about the way capital functions has changed. it's not about money per se but about the falling rate of profit.
you misunderstand the way accumulation functions, they are in a war of all against all
