Capitalism as a mode of production is only a few hundred years old. It’s essentially a mode of production where private ownership is the principal aspect of the economy, and capital owners control the state. Before capitalism was feudalism, and before feudalism came slave societies, and before those came tribal communalism.
Human nature is incredibly malleable and depends most upon how we produce and distribute, how we live and how our environment shapes us.
capitalism being a system that promotes the accumulation of wealth / power by few to exert over many? So like… nature? Yeah, that would be everyone.
Everyone that has ever died ever is due to capitalism. :)
we are a societal race, that thrives on empathy and community.
social animals, yes.
yes, as I said.

how is it different if you substitute economic capital with political capital?
I mean the means of production and distribution.
ok but why is it different if those that control these things accumulated economic capital or if they accumulated political capital?
I don’t see what you mean. The means of production and who own them are both political and economic inherently.
Yes, they are. Then you do see.
No?
ok
