Are you implying that every system ever has exactly the same exploitable weaknesses as every other? Capitalism *explicitly* as part of the founding principle, appeals to greed. Whether it's part of human nature or not (and that's debatable itself and far too easy of an "answer"), There exist systems that make exploiting…
