    This is surely the correct answer and for the reason you give.

    If we’re honest (and informed - a big ask, here) then we should concede that capitalism has been generally good for our species. A quadrupling of human population at the same time as a doubling in longevity - the numbers don’t lie and they perfectly track the victory of capitalism as the world’s economic system. Leftists don’t want to hear it, but it’s clearly true.

    But whatever this ideology did for humanity, it has been a complete disaster for all the other forms of life that we share our planet with. And that fact is going to catch up with us soon enough.
