Because people get paid in dollars and they go out and spend the dollars? That's it? "Because you can start any business you want?" No you can't.

Economically speaking no one can make a 'company' unless it's either an economical leaf node ie maid services, nanny services, restaurant, handyman etc. Or it's economically built in to the fascist system. VC / investment preownership funding, government grants basically being your business model, making a franchise location etc.

I read in the beginning of the auto industry, there used to be thousands of auto companies. thousands. Can you even imagine compared to our like 3 or 4 now? And they don't even build the shit here. That's what a REAL capitalist economy looks like.

I think of the economy now like it's Reddit. That awful place used to be a haven for nerds. At one time maybe 10,000 nerds were on there. Having the top post was mostly just some nerdy satisfaction. Then the site grew to where the a million people would see the top post on the main page. So then it was a very lucrative thing that companies and those with agendas could not simply leave alone. The allure of having so many people see what was there became too great. This lead to things becoming manipulated for profit and for narrative control.

So if you had a tribe trading food, clothing, and other goods, you have a nice capitalist system. Then when it grows to where millions and even billions of dollars are on the line, things are way to lucrative to leave things alone. Ultimately, these companies are supposed to be regulated by government, but they end up buying off government to work in their favor instead. There's also a problem with things becoming too big to compete with. It would be almost impossible to start an automobile company now without millions and millions of dollars already. Even then, the cars they put out would most likely end up being crap that keeps breaking. The first impression might be nice, but I'm sure the cars would develop horrible reputations.
