Depending on the particulars of the #utilitarian argument, the case can work or not. If it is preference/desire satisfaction utilitarianism the case for capitalism follows from that any mutually beneficial transaction improves welfare. Capitalist employment is that assuming full consent. My response to such arguments is debunking #consequentialist #ethics. And rejecting collective preference satisfaction as the good in favor of freedom.

@wouldinotcallmyselfahumanbeing @sz_duras The reason competition between firms is necessary is because there is no way to enforce the firms doing a good job without having other people working on similar projects to compare to. It also prevents mismanagement.

I also think you’re straw manning pro-capitalists. Most centrists support capitalism on #utilitarian or individual rights based grounds. These ethics aren’t rooted in flawed analogies to Darwinian evolution.
