To date, no one has demonstrated how the latter can replace the former. The narrator in the video, above, equates capitalism with violence, but there is no causal link between the two. Free trade does not lead to mass surveillance, wars, and riot squads. He is, rather, equating a philosophy based on violence with a philosophy based on free trade, where no such relationship can be shown to exist.
