I don’t disagree but I want to focus on something else. I think there is something inherently modular in the metaphysics of capitalism. IOW it leads to an inherently reductionistic and modular view of ‘things’ ‘ecosystems’ people. Why? because it wants everything to be buyable and sellable, since this gives the capitalists more to work with and skim money (value) off of. So where capitalipsm is things will be more likely to be viewed in reductionistic modular terms. A person will become viewed as a bundle of chemical machines, so one can sell chemical machines to them. They will be less likely to be viewed as interconnected parts of human ecosystems where suffering, for example, is seen as systemic, rather than an individuals broken parts.
Capitalism does not want a commons. It wants to reduce commons into parts that can be sold and profits skimmed off of.
People and other life forms will be viewed as genetic machines, with modular treatements and tweaking.
Ecosystems will be seen as batches of parts not wholes. And those parts will be monetarily values, not relationship valued.
India barely kept the capitalists from claiming they owned the right to neem trees.
Right now they are selling information about you: facebook for example. You are not selling it. They are. You are batches of code choices and they sell them to other capitalists.
They want to sell the air and the water and I think it was Bolivia that just managed to hold them off, for now on the latter.
They want to replace everything with what they have the rights to: everything. Via nanotech, genetic modification, terraforming, they will replace things that are not problems, so that everything is owned and their patents cover everything.
'everything is pieces, individuals are separate monads, everything is parts to be tweaked, not wholes to be treasured.
You would think an economic system would be metaphysics neutral, but it’s not.
It is a religion or creates one over time as won considers how to reduce everything to parts and modular systems to increase the purvue of markets and get everything owned.
It is anti-holistic, reductionist, anti-ecosystem, anti-relationship, anti-spiritual, anti-communal, anti-tribal, anti-internal relations, materialistic (in both senses) and nihilistic.
Now note: some of each of those qualities i just listed can lead to good insights and good things and even enhance relations and life. But this is capitalism’s metaphysical bias, which is out of balance. And it is currently the greatest threat out there. It is implicit in capitalism that everything you love can and should be tweaked and replaced and sold and bought and is ultimately empty of value, just a shuffling of dead parts.
