Wut? I think of capitalism as a parasite that mercilessly exploits it’s host until workers are so poor and exploited they finally rebel. Whereas socialism is about mutual aid and symbiosis. Thus the meme. It’s nothing to do with natural vs unnatural, as parasites are also natural. It’s about what sort of existence is wholesome and mutually beneficial vs inherently hateful and exploitative.
Yeah, I agree with what you say, but my point is that this just doesn’t apply to the relationship of trees and fungi. It isn’t wholesome as such, it’s just beneficial to both until it isn’t and then they turn on each other. I wouldn’t want a human society that is only based on mutual aid as long as it benefits everyone and where you turn on your neighbor the moment they are weak enough to be exploited.
