minus-squareBlameThePeacock@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·4 days agoAll of those are part of capitalism. Even most homesteading these days requires significant purchased inputs. Precious metals, crypto, and anything else that’s an investment asset is quite literally the epitome of capitalism. You really need a better economic education.
