You can see where one ends and the other begins if you look with the right eye. Taking what people would be doing anyways and forcing them to do it for your own gain. With that framing, you can see how serfdom, and slavery all become progenitors to modern day capitalism. It’s evolved with the times and always found a way in. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before.

    This was reported for being political, rule 3. Economics is highly politicized but we need to draw a line somewhere so I added a little more guidance in the sidebar. For example, a similar but less politicized phrasing might be “Capitalism and humanism both come from the same aspects of human nature” Leaving up for now. Thanks for being civil everyone.
