The capitalist system, as discussed by its ardent promoters, is a grandiose fairytale, which should be obvious to anyone who considers its tenets with discerning eyes.
What I find particularly disturbing from a psychological perspective is how lacking in any sense of gratitude, or reality for that matter, the uber capitalists who falsely claim, and knowingly so, that they alone created their situations of wellbeing through the accumulation of wealth. The falsehoods they proclaim loudly are a clear betrayal of the communal system that aided them in their quest for wealth every step of the way. Truly astonishing and disheartening the lies that some will proclaim as truth solely for the sake of gaining and maintaining power and extreme prosperity.
Always beware of statesmen who relate their leadership to childhood tales. Childhood tales are not there to send out a simple message like those that politicians are fond of. They are there to provoke profound thought and give children and adults alike cause to reflect on many things. Your exposé here is very thought-provoking and I agree with it.
Indeed a tale that both grows then shrinks then grows again with retelling, like every folk tale ever told and passed on by word of mouth. Isn't folklore a remarkable thing, and so often worth more than what the history books tell you?

It actually reflects something I wrote not long ago. Not long, long ago: https://endlesschain.substack.com/p/grimm-reflections
May we all live happily ever after. It is possible, y'know.
