It, unfortunately, is an efficient distribution of labor, at least relative to other systems. Not because wasting food for profit isn’t fucking heinous, but because the mobility of investor capital and responsiveness of market prices is less inefficient than reciprocal economies or central planning.

However, we are at a point in human society where raw efficiency is no longer the bottleneck for our quality of life. Capitalism was an ugly solution to a real problem, but we can probably bid it farewell at this point, if only we can dislodge the elites who benefit from perpetuating it.

The owner class will never willingly give up power, their actions are why capitalism is a religion.

I disliking dividing people into owning and worker classes. If the workers save up their earnings to make their living in the old age, does it make then “owner class”? Should they stay penniless in your world vision? It’s the utopian world you propose

I’m not arguing semantics or gradients, eat/compost the rich to save the planet. Period.

I’m not proposing a utopian world, those are words you are shoving in my mouth.

I"m proposing a world where the global temp is slowed down enough that our grandkids have a chance at a life on a planet that isn’t an ecological disaster.

It’s not semantics as you try to portray. It’s the real life case that simply negates your “solution” if any.
