Dragon "capitalism"

People talk all the time about dragon capitalism but technically it doesn't make sense. Capital doesn't exist in this game. Nobody owns the means of production. Technically you can get hired in this game but I feel like the pay is not very good so idk why people do it.

capitalism is one of those words that has become overused to just mean unethical (according to the person using the word) practices regarding currency, labor, economies, business, etc. etc.

also even if you get hired in this game, you don't own the means of production (like the cauldron or coli venues). i mean i guess you "own" your own cauldron but it doesn't grant you any power over others since everyone else also has one.

Yes but they get the profits they make so they're (mostly) not alienated from their labor. If anything FR owns the means of skin production
