Regardless, that has nothing to do with the comic OP posted. Are there, in real-world communist/feudal societies, people that get more on the shoulders of other people's work? If the answer is yes, then the comic does not specifically represent a capitalist society.

Because this is what the comic represents. It does not represent the welfare system, or lack thereof. It does not show any means of production. It just shows some person getting wealth on the shoulders of another person's work. That's it.

Then all that matters is that OP thinks it's fitting for Capitalism, and should therefore be taken in that context.

Ok, then you are equally ok with this, I guess:

It would be stupid, but we could evaluate it within that context, without having to bring in other systems like Capitalism or Feudalism.

What's the conversation then? If you can't discuss alternative systems, what's the point? Circlejerk? How fun

Issa meme, not an in-depth discussion post. I suggest touching grass.
