    That’s like saying “everything happens for a reason” to someone whose whole family has just been murdered.

    No. Capitalism was never necessary.

      But nothing is actually necessary. It depends on what you want to achieve.

      The speed of innovation might have gotten a big impulse by capitalism; I’m not sure if we’d technologically be where we are now otherwise. Of course one could argue that we do not need tech in its current form, which is fair.
