That's what the M in billionaire stands for

That's why they could become rich in the first place

Using the B word is class reductionist. Please say "Person of Means" /s

"I spent years in prison because I killed school bullies. I had plenty time to think about it and realized that if I kill the bully, a new one will take their place. If I want to end all this, I have to kill the victims."

You totally misread it. It's about school shooting. What you do at home or in your own neighborhood is your thing

And school shootings still exist. I'm disappointed. What was he doing these 5 years?

What is politics? People spend have their waking hours in a strict top down system, instead of a democratically organized economy. Tbf that's not only true for Capitalism but also for Soviet style socialism.

For example, the market may "decide" that asbestos is the best insulation, however, the market does not set political policy about insulation.

The market is not the only aspect of capitalism. Plutocracy is another strong one. Being rich makes you influential in capitalism in contrast to systems where your ancestry is important or systems that try to get rid of power altogether respectively try to distribute it as evenly as possible. So while I said it's compatible with monarchy and democracy, this is true on a scale. If the monarch is listening to rich people instead of their kind, it's less monarchical and parliamentary democracies are more prone to capitalism than more direct forms of democracy.

To put it differently: it's not only about who makes the decision according to the constitution, it's also about how this decision comes about. Besides: the institution at least makes capitalism possible, if not enforces it in one way or another. The existence of a state alone is something capitalism needs, a punitive justice system that enforces property rights, which often also are constitutional themselves, ...

Yes, but never on an ecosystem endangering scale. Species go extinct, that's what happens in nature all the time and humans were the cause in history and prehistory. But never on the scale of today.

If you have the mega fauna in mind: it's very debated how big of an impact the humans had. There are different factors at play for sure, like changing climate. Was it really humanity that made the woollen mammoth go extinct at the end of the ice age?

I see now where you are coming from but I never meant to say "violence is always the answer". The comment above mine was about how incompatible capitalism and fascism are and if that were the case, Hitler would have been defeated by the market place of ideas

Is that so?

Hitler was defeated on the market place of ideas

You can't meaningful separate these. Sure, capitalism is not mutually exclusive to say parliamentary democracy or dictatorship or monarchy, but you need a state that enforces the "will of the market". Capitalism values property very highly. That's a political decision. It allows a very hierarchical relation between workers and bosses by enforcing the property laws of the latter. At the end of the day, it's the police (and therefore the state) that evicts you, not the landlord and not the market.
