They’re too greedy to allow for a moderate return and gain without effort, opting instead to “muzzle the ox while he is threshing,” stealing all the proceeds and and starving out the white minds laboring to produce the bounties the parasites also enjoy.
An analogy to what's going on is fishing. If every participant agrees to fish in a sustainable way, to not overfish, then there is plenty of fish for everyone. But at the same time the incentive of each cartel member is to surreptitiously cheat, to catch more fish than their quota. With too much cheating you get overfishing. Once it becomes obvious that everyone is cheating and that the fish population collapse is inevitable, a feeding frrenzy ensues until nothing is left of the fish.
