Maybe it's that capitalism is incompatible with morality and the government isn't doing it's job to force behaviors that are necessary, but not aligned with capitalism.

Any written set of laws or system rules are incompatible with morality. Morality cannot be formally described - there will always be ways to be true to the letter of the rules and still act immorally.

It's not just capitalism. It's actually any society that is wholly reliant on subjugating individuals to produce goods and services for society.

People often gloss over the overwhelming theme in human history of work being extracted with ruthless optimization.

The pyramids got built for free, so did America, that whole Serf system, kids used to work, Colonization, and I think there’s people half way across the world making things for a few cents an hour as we speak.

If you want to know what’s happening, then just look at what already happened. War, technological advancement, and worker bondage are pocket aces you must to bet on when it comes to humanity.

Yep! Didn't mean to imply that there's necessarily any significant period where this wasn't happening. The opposite actually.

When we organize into groups this is what happens.
