    The big difference is whether you believe some people are born to be less than others or not, that’s literally the right vs left.

    Capitalism is squarely a right wing economic system as there are people born with inherent advantages, more power, from the standpoint of capital simply better. The only reason capitalism affords some sort of upwards social mobility is because of leftist policies, laws, regulations.

      Capitalism, like feudalism offers upward mobility by appeasing the established elite. Seriously, nobody is wealthy under capitalism by earning a wage, they’re wealthy by owning the means of production. You either die working class or your betray the class you were born into to use others.
