just want to avoid causing confusion, i'm not the best writer

thats fine, im not either

the basis of capitalism is the individual accumulation of wealth, and it needs to continuously expand in order to survive

this is why regulations, while they have good intentions, are treating gangrene with neosporin

and also why they inevitably fail

if the power of those on top is not monitored, society will quickly grow unfair, and therefore will not be stable, productive, or anything else I'd want a society to be. I don't think it's necessary to delve deeply into why winner-take-all society wouldn't be very stable, so suffice to say: those who are starving need food, so they must take the food from those who have it, but those who have it aren't willing to give it up, so violence is the only option left for the starving (revolution!).

and now that capitalism has overexpanded and is running out of ways to expand, it's experiencing slowdowns

What do you mean

well, only a very negligible amount of capital in the world isn't in the possession of the capitalist system

and capitalism requires constant growth and competition in order to survive

now that it's running out of ways to expand, it's hitting major slowdowns
