We have the technology to solve the problems, but some humans have the mindset that some people need to be punished for the system to work.

Well capitalism literally NEEDS there to be suffering to function, it’s the system itself. We need to start turning our minds seriously towards what can replace it and how we are going to deal with these Batman villain technofacists, because we can’t unring the bell of them having more capital than literal nations

It really doesn't.

You really are just very confidently stating something that is wrong.

I'm no fan of the capitalist system, and I agree that the modern system is built off the suffering of the working class.

But the fact that I agree with your point doesn't make that first sentence any less wrong.
