No system is immune to corruption. Inject it into communism, socialism, or capitalism, and the whole thing short-circuits. But only one of those systems still lets you move—really move. Capitalism, for all its flaws, offers the red pill: brutal reality, imperfect freedom, and the chance to chart your own path.
The Matrix was never just about machines. It was about the lies we tell ourselves to stay comfortable. Marxist ideologies often dress themselves in justice and equality—but behind the curtain, they can demand obedience, suppress opposition, and rebuild the same hierarchies they claim to dismantle. It’s not liberation. It’s just a different program running the same loop.
Capitalism doesn’t promise truth. It doesn’t care if you win or lose. But it lets you try. That makes it messy, chaotic—and profoundly human. You’re not told what to want. You’re not issued meaning. You have to wake up, unplug, and make something of your own design.
Is it fair? No. But it’s real. And when every system has cracks, I’d rather walk through the one that still gives me a map and a pair of boots.
