We've been psyop'ed into believing that capitalism is some sort of ideology or "economic system". It is, in fact, just what happens naturally when individual actors interact voluntarily for their own self interests in the absence of a centralized authority. Anything that deviates from this natural state is, in fact, an ideology or an economic system. We currently live in a highly controlled, regulated, and planned economy.
The most fundamental property, which exists at the the very base layer of the economy, the cost of money, is centrally planned. This is known as the interest rate, and it's currently being determined by just a few people for the entire world. The money supply itself is also constantly being manipulated by the world's central banks. These manipulations are the reasons for the increasingly severe boom and bust cycles that we experience, and continuing global monetary crises.
The primary function of these manipulations is to funnel wealth and enrich a select few, which is exactly how socialist economies end up. The difference is, they've managed to control us while we've thought we've been free. And all the while, the central planners would have us believe that it is capitalism that has failed, whatever that even means.
