Every time you hear "without capitalism, nothing would get done," remember... capitalism didn't invent work, it invented wage-dependence. Humans built cities, farms, and art before payrolls and quarterly reports existed.

Capitalism has fundamental contradictions that lead it to crisis, contradictions that government intervention can't handle.

You have monopolies naturally occurring due to snowball effect that get recreated even after government break ups, inherent overproduction that happens due to the nature of commodity production, wage labor and surplus value extracting ensuring that it's physically impossible to buy everything that we make, and so on. This shit causes wars, crises, etc
