And historically those systems are typically structured in a way that allows authoritarianism and dictators to take over more quickly. The government has to control everything, which creates a much smaller point of failure. Capitalism is a shit system, but it took ~200 years to corrupt to this point because the power is more distributed (at first). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 9 child comments replies: [–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (5 children) Capitalism is a shit system, but it took ~200 years to corrupt to this point because the power is more distributed (at first).

The Civil War was fought over slavery and it was because rich land barons in the south didn't want to have workers they paid anything to. So they also greased government hands to try and keep it.
