      Not the guy you responded too, but his point is obvious.

      The assertion that capitalism is the root cause of the atrocities listed based purely on their existing at the same time is evidence of nothing.

      Or do you think mercantilism or feudalism where actually any better?

        Capitalism being better than feudalism is not a high bar. A system that ties a human life’s worth to the capital they generate will always create disparity
