 Capitalism or a free market economy is the natural state of things. It is the default, not an upheaval of a different order. It is every other system, Communism, Socialism, Corporatism, etc which are forced modifications to the natural order. 
 Yes and amen. Anything beyond capitalism is human invention. Capitalism alone is God inspired. 
 🎯 Free Market economy is not good for stealing energy from the productive class. 
 I used to think this, I don't know if I think it any more. Capitalism is civilized, non-violent order. If you aren't civilized, you get violence. 
 I'd like to think that's true but beyond what's possible for small communities, it seems the first agricultural societies were likely under the authoritarian rule of a clique that had control over water/irrigation access and defended against invasions. 
 Even the authoritarian dictators and their serfs are subject to the capitalism. Everyone always is. 

I'd like to think it's working more on a physics level; unlike the other isms. Like gravitation, you can try to defy the capitalistic powers by utilizing/burning energy (enforcing rules) but it doesn't take the natural forces away.
