    I think it could help to approach the game differently.

    There is the anecdote about chess in which two kings are about to lead their armies into battle, but they play a game of chess first and start to appreciate their opponent and end up not fighting the battle.

    There is the entire history of colonialism that suggests otherwise, but I think that capitalism is more than a means to oppress the masses. The masses are oppressed to achieve cultural progress. There is no need for our current form of capitalism if we find a way to create progress in another way.

    State capitalism was not bad, but I think it is a dead end. We should try to come up with, and try other ways.
