Western economists are simply the high priests of the cult of profit, their job is to normalize and justify atrocity and absurdity. Their profession is so fraudulent that they had to make up a fake Nobel prize for themselves. Look it up, there's no such thing as an Nobel prize in economics, just a seperate and unaffiliated award called "The Nobel prize in economics". This slapdash gilded horseshit is all it takes to fool you into supporting the system that has kicked off a mass extinction event and poisoned your body with heavy metals? How unbelievably servile of you.

Meanwhile, I think capitalism is a worse economic system than communism, and the crushing majority of ecologists, sociologists, historians, genocide scholars and about two billion people agree with me.
