Maybe if you don’t know what capitalism is. A lot of people seem to confuse capitalism with markets. It’s had to imagine a world without markets, but capitalism is just an ownership system. It’s easy to imagine a world made up of cooperatives. It’s basically the same world we already have but everyone gets paid more and there are no shareholders.
There’s nothing stopping people from working for or with cooperatives or not working for or with corporations. It’s just that most people can’t be bothered to care. If everyone stopped buying from corporations, corporations would die pretty quick. If everyone bought from cooperatives, they’d be a lot more stable. We’re only picking winners and losers via government contracts. The res of the economy is a free for all.
