We’re not here at all to discuss capitalism, but criticizing the greedy and opulent rich people is essentially what led to the french revolution that installed and legitimized the burgeois class in continental Europe…

There’s no conflict between criticizing those above you and capitalism, exactly because capitalism is based on the idea that if you do things right, you should be granted the right to escalate in the social pyramid

Well we disagree a bit there, the implication is that these people have escalated to the top of the social pyramid because of the immoral things they’ve done. But obviously it’s open to interpretation and apparently completely beside the point in terms of your analysis (as much as our perspectives on SW diverge, I can’t say I don’t find your takes interesting).
