    Capital is a red herring. The problem is egoism and closely related tribalism. Those will never be solved as long as life exists.

    For example, hippies who claim to be anti-capitalist will ignore those parts of science they don’t like e.g modern medicine, but will use biology, chemistry, physics, social studies and many other studies example to underpin their reasoning.

      Capital isn’t a Red Herring, though, it’s the basis of Capitalist production and is what drives further and further exploitation, especially along international and class-based lines. "Egoism* and “tribalism” are just the cultural aspects of such a mode of production being expressed in such a manner.
