8. If you solve problems in a capitalist society, you are preventing someone from capitalizing on them.

That's why we have full blown disaster capitalism. Someone figured it out--the more problems, the more things there are to capitalize on! That's why we see this widespread discouragement of people solving their own problems, and becoming self-sufficient.

The self-sufficient person is the enemy of capitalism.
