    The ruling class, the capitalists, don’t do evil things for the sake of power or control. They do it for profits

    Are those very different things? Wealth certainly grants power and control, no?

    Having said that, I agree with the spirit of your comment.

      They are different. Capitalism only cares about profits, morals don’t come into the picture, nor does power or control except to the extent that they facilitate profits.
