Just wow.
Also dudes talking about the market, which isn’t the same as capitalism afaik.
If you ask ten Americans to explain capitalism, nine will simply describe a market economy
capitalism when market
socialism when state
And then eight of those nine will just describe commerce.
Graebers “Debt” does a great job of deconstructing this. Econ 101 really creates so many brainworms.
It’s true. Friend of mine has a politics degree from a world renowned university and still insists that capitalism existed in antiquity because people exchanged goods for currency.

Capitalism was invented in 130,000 BC checkmate commies
If you have a Flowbee you can cut your own hair.
You can cut your hair with just a bathroom mirror and a dull set of scissors if you’re serious about it.

The music in the marketing video is just incredible, reminds me of totally different sorts of movies circa 80s - 90s.
