    Capitalism is incompatible with meritocracy.

    It rewards ruthless capture and enclosure of other people’s hard work and surplus value.

    Read what Disney did to folk culture. Read what Edison did to his underlings, it is all a repeat of the “enclosures”, the thefts of our commons for private profits.

    If you don’t know what the enclosures were, read this macabre story and focus on the people who attacked the fences and paid with their lives https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Sugrue
