Trade can work without capital ownership.

It's always staggering to see people who know absolutely fuck all about supply chains and trade flows point to the Bitcoin trading desk of JP Morgan and proclaim "if not for these brave souls, nothing good in your life would exist".

I'm not even strictly against capitalism. I still subscribe to the old school Marxist "stages of history" theory that says "okay at some point you kinda gotta". But then you see people living in a rancid stew of monopoly middle men proudly proclaiming "Best of All Possible Worlds!" and my eyes roll so hard they practically fall out of my head.
