Yeah it wasn't capitalists that gave me this mindset. It was researching human history. And it's completely filled with slavery, racism, unnecessary wars, torture, religious persecution, the list is damn near endless.

If humans are so easily swayed to abhorrent violence then at a certain point you have to realize it's our nature. Peace is just something wishful people dream of.
