olavo de carvalho

Never heard of Olavo de Carvalho so I looked him up and here’s a quote from Wikipedia:

> As described by an obituary, Carvalho's political views were summed up in one of his tweets: "Capitalism is the godfather and protector of communism. The war is not between capitalism and communism, it is between CHRISTIANITY and communism."

He’s 100% right. Capitalism leads to Communism, we’re seeing it now in the US. Just based on this, I imagine he’s in line philosophically with Juan Donoso Cortes and Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira ✝️

I think attempts to regulate capitalism leads to communism.

Capitalism and communism both stem from the false anthropology of liberalism. I am very much pro working and trade but we have to remember that the term and notion of “capital-ism” is a very novel concept in terms of the length of human history. The Silk Road for example existed well before capitalism. A regulating entity called “the state” is also a very modern idea. All of it is based on a misunderstanding of human nature by thinking we’re fundamentally individuals, specifically economic entities, which we’re not.
