no... its called a dominance hierarchy and is inherent to life as a living organism

the animal kingdom doesn't have currency and yet the stronger animal or those that have more resources have more influence and power

 

this idea that this comes about because of some political ideology called capitalism is just silly

Which demonstrates that our predatory instincts have not changed despite having evolved from primates. Our predatory methods to dominate are simply more refined and complex as capitalism demonstrates.

And if you don't realize that you are the silly one, my friend.

 

"Which demonstrates that our predatory instincts have not changed despite having evolved from primates. Our predatory methods to dominate are simply more refined and complex as capitalism demonstrates."

 

despite? why would you expect such a trait to ever fall away? life is primarily about survival and reproduction right? and how do you do so? by becoming stronger and gathering resources

life is also about variety

both of these characteristics are always going to be present for humans and even in a perfect communist utopia ( which is impossible ) they will never fall away despite you appearing to  believe that will be the case

there is always going to be struggle to rise to the top of the hierarchy and those that reach there will in some cases use their power to harm those below them, its innate to the human and by extension animal condition unless you're a mindless drone like an ant or bee ( communism )

people are becoming so separated from reality that its alarming lol
