It’s definitely not specific to the context of capitalism

capitalism however makes transactionalism the explicit structure such that it cannot coexist with any other type of ownership regime by function

That is to say, if you look at anarcho socialist philosophy it can theoretically coexist with other philosophies inside the same state and action space

Historically however, we have not found a stable equilibrium for the lived reality of our experience such that we could map it cleanly onto some discreet and identified philosophical framework

So neither anarcho-socialism nor capitalism is a sustainable equilibrium point due to the constraints of a human biological substrate

Claiming that “it could” or “can” or “is the best we can do” are all beside the point, because they ignore the intractable fundamental fact of separating human systems from all other systems

Every possible game is zero sum because the universe isn’t creating more matter or energy, it’s just moving around. How we move it around is the problem to solve and anyone using weak justifications with bankrupt epistemological foundations is just wasting everyone’s time.
