“Capitalism was not the product of
an evolutionary development bringing
forth economic forces that were maturing
in the womb of the old order.
.
Capitalism was the counter revolution
that destroyed the possibilities that had
emerged from the anti-feudal struggles,
possibilities which, if realized, might
have spared us the immense destruction
of lives and the natural environment
that has marked the advance of
capitalist relations worldwide."
.
- David Graeber
There are a lot of myths and fantasies about Capitalism, which is why reading history is rather quite useful.

Musk's brother: "We were illegal immigrants."
