Capitalism isn’t the most precise term to use, honestly - it’s an economic system, not a social system.

Capitalism is not in any way “inherently authoritarian”. That assertion is false on its face - it basically boils down to private ownership of property and voluntary exchange. The means through which those things are ensured is outside the scope of an economic system.

Capitalism as we have it today is inherently authoritarian. If you have no money you do whatever money tells you to do or suffer the consequences.

What we have today doesn’t define “Capitalism” - it’s a combination of political and social systems with a big helping of cultural biases thrown in.
