the law of the jungle is not the same thing as capitalism

and i’m getting sick and tired of rush limbaugh and his friends telling me that it is

Capitalism is merely a protocol. It is not a goal. To flip the ‘law of the jungle’ concept around, humans figured out long ago that we’re better off working together. We are social animals. (So are lions)

I don’t think capitalism is supposed to make it easier for people to get rich or amass wealth. But it sure seems like that’s the idea.
