also the scariest thing about capitalism is that it actually works exactly the way it's supposed to: it functions by marginalising a whole group of people and it relies on keeping them marginalised to continue functioning. it is VERY effective at making it impossible for that group to achieve what others believe they have 'earned' - if it were simply a matter of them ~~'working harder'!~~ capitalism would literally fall apart on its own
