    Its why I stopped reading The Saga of Tanya the Evil, she starts espousing about how capitalism is “gods greatest gift to mankind”…

      I mean, Marx went on a tear about the unleashing of productive forces under Capitalism. It’s a significant meaningful improvement over the absolute monarchies and fractured feudal territorial economies that came before.

      Throwing “God” into the equation is definitely fucked. But there’s a lot to be said for the benefits of laisse-faire capitalism if the only thing you care about is economic growth. Humans fully divorced from a social code and empowered with industrial technology can make so many fucking paperclips.

      To be fair you’re really not supposed to agree with Tanya. “Capitalism is God’s greatest gift to mankind” sounds about right for an unapologetic psychopath.
