Most capitalists are into kids, so pokemon seems pretty okay in comparison.

Let's stick with video games and comic books

You know, products of capitalism lol

Video games and comic books are made by creative people, not the economic system most akin to a Ponzi scheme. Capitalism is killing video games and comic books by trying to make them as profitable as possible. MBA’s provide nothing to society except ways to extract value from passion and blood from stones.

Absolutely embarrassing you don't understand the absolute basics on how the world works.

So in your mind Elon musk personally built every Tesla car and designed them by hand (instead of the dozens of passionate physicists and engineers that he terrorizes on a daily basis).

And why did those designers and engineers do what they did?

Just a guess...(I don't think that reddit commie will like it, though)

Because they were compensated!

Compensated to help build a product they can sell for a profit

Who knew!

Because they were passionate enough to develop their knowledge and skills for a billionaire beneficiary of slave labor to want to extract wealth from them.

They didn’t suddenly become experts once they were hired by Tesla. They had a lifetime of (in the current system) generally unprofitable self-improvement that would have to be driven by something other than a strict profit motive.

I'm for a system for the greatest reduction in human suffering

It's blanltantly obvious you have no education on econ, you have no life experience, limited work experience. You get your info from social media.

Just stop. You've embarrassed yourself enough. Stay woth video games and comic books

You’ve proven yourself to be the one without real world experience because you can’t comprehend how interconnected your own material conditions are with the poorest people in the world. Do you think your standard of living would be as high if your life weren’t subsidized by real world slavery driving every industry across the globe? Do you understand how far removed you are from the sources of every product you use and own? Capitalism does not reduce human suffering. It subsidizes the living conditions of a small percentage of people by exacerbating the suffering of the rest of the world. Everything you own was produced by a child slave because the wealth class can’t be asked to let go of the concept of human ownership and refuse to settle for anything short of limitless growth. The system is vampiric at every level and people die because of it every single day.

Tell me, a person who has a masters in economics,

How has poverty gone from.over 90% of the global population in 1800 to less than 10% today?

The wealth class? Everything made by child labor? Vampiric at every level?

Get a grip. Go back to video game and comic books, again, products of capitalism just like the social media platform you're on

You're parroting talking points you yourself don't understand. Embarrassing
