(Rigor is apparently counter revolutionary. Cohen wept. :>) Clearing up extra spaces that shouldn't be here and changing the wording as me and Eden discussed on our talk pages.
((Edit made mostly as excuse to respond) Uh, I didn’t say it was trivial. You’re the one who removed it. I just thought it was irrelevant to a Doctor Who wiki, it’s an incredibly essential concept IRL. And bourgeois economists aren’t ideologically equipped to define or understand a community. As for that other thing, Communism is pretty consistently mentioned in the DWU in contrast to Capitalism, as for Feudalism, we’ll cross that bridge when we make that page!)

A [[The Doctor (Sympathy for the Devil)|version of]] [[the Doctor]] from an [[Alternate universe]] described '''capitalism''' in the following way; "Some people win; most lose all they had.", ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Emporium At The End (audio story)|The Emporium At The End]]'') although there was disagreement as to whether or not this descriptor was also fairly applicable to the version of Captalism in operation in [[N-Space]], as well, with various incarnations of the "prime" Doctor displaying different opinions on this; for instance the [[Seventh Doctor|Seventh]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Closing the Account (short story)|Closing the Account]]'') and [[Twelfth Doctor|Twelfth]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Oxygen (TV story)|Oxygen]]'') Doctor thinking it did so, with the [[Thirteenth Doctor|Thirteenth]] denying at least that such problems were necessarily inherent to the system, ([[TV]]: ''[[Kerblam! (TV story)|Kerblam!]]'') and the [[Third Doctor]] having mixed views, believing unemployment to be "Capitalism’s biggest problem", but admitting to the [[President (The Paradise of Death)|President]] that he "seem[ed] to have fixed" that.

Capitalism is sometimes juxtaposed with [[Feudalism]] ([[TV]] ''[[The Monster of Peladon (TV story)|The Monster of Peladon]]''), or [[Communism]] ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Brotherhood of the Daleks (audio story)|Brotherhood of the Daleks]]''). | |||

Capitalism could be exploited to the extreme with no regard to the lives of others. [[Ganymede Systems]] began to not providing [[oxygen]] in [[space station]]s and forced people to buy it via [[Smartsuit|smart suits]]. They also began killing workers when they hadn't been productive enough and brought into new workers. However, thanks to the [[Twelfth Doctor]], a rebellion was started and Ganymede Systems was overthrown. According to the Doctor, the incident "about wrap[ped] it up for capitalism." but clarified its end only led to humanity making "a new mistake" ([[TV]]: ''[[Oxygen (TV story)|Oxygen]]''), and, indeed, concepts like [[trade]], [[commerce]], and [[class]] were shown to outlast the [[Earth]] itself.
