    Yeah, capitalism is what caused all the world wars, even the little battles those guys with the swords did back in 900BC.

    You can’t just shift the blame for everything in the world on that one thing you hate, just doesn’t work like that

          Sure, but a lot of other humans didn’t. Can’t much write off an entire species because we failed to prevent an outlier from gaining power for a little while.

            Also can’t much attribute all the complexities of both wars to just “capitalism” either. That was my point.

              Yes you can? Capitalism was very much at the root of the conflict. It can accurately be reduced to capitalism. You can elaborate and provide further detail to how it happened, but that doesn’t change the big picture.

                  There is a difference between simplifying and oversimplifying. Just like there is a difference between nuance and losing the forest for the trees.

          The larger causes were interimperial squabbling which is inevitable when capitalism reaches the stage of competing for foreign markets.
