    It honestly baffles me that the capitalists as a whole aren’t even good at capitalism or imperialism. They’re incredibly stupid, petulant babies who care more about doing evil and not having to share than they even care about actually making money.

      They don't need to be good at it, they have all the money, they hold nearly all the cards, and are used to being coddled

      95% of the time, they're able to just brute force any problem away

        They want the inequality more than the wealth. There are things that secure, healthy, educated, organized workers won't do for any price. The leverage to coerce is the real wealth to them.

      I mean yeah, originally bourgeoisie only taken over when aristocracy was so rotted they couldn't even find their own jaw without a map, and even then it was basically all done by proletarian hands who had literally force burgies to take the power.
