    It was also a feature of early stage capitalism. But instead of analysing features, it’s better to orginize and fight for political change

      Exactly, but my point is their view isn’t big enough, it’s the entire system that facilitates this to be the case. We need political change on a foundational level, like getting rid of 2 senators per state and the electoral college.
