haha indeed. unfortunately, that would never happen
i think a lot about how every argument that Capitalism Good Actually boils down to examples of times when its incentives sorta-kinda align with a public good. for a brief moment. but the alignment is never quite right, it's always at least a couple degrees off... and then rapidly curves away, like a field line diagram that aligns with a straight grid in one spot and then swirls away into howling vortices
the liberal conceit is that this madness can be tamed to align with moral good. that in some way, this mindless system with an irrevocably alien basis of value can be pushed and cajoled and shunted into runnels and dikes and ditches to emulate a system that is actually good, without altering its core tenets of power and accumulation. but it is irrevocably alien: no matter how close it may align with a seeming good, it is based on something entirely other. no matter how much you might wish, it has no shared basis with "good." no matter how tempting it is to include some amount of its logic for easy short term gains, eventually its logic grows and follows on and curls away, perverts, overflows, envelops, totalizes everything around it and everything that seeks to guide or contain it. any written capital incentive will be perverted. no amount of capitalism is "good," it can't possibly be. and if your definition of "evil" is that which works against that which is good, it's inescapable that any amount of capitalism at all is evil.
anything past the shallowest investigation of How Things Work reveals this starkly
