    Under capitalism, profit maximization is necessary for the company you own to survive. You cannot be a “nice capitalist”, at least not for long. A person that is nice will have to conform their behavior to maximize profits anyways.

    This dynamic does not exist in other systems, where your class membership makes you a relentless recursive tool of the market.
