That’s why it’s called digital.

I just wasn’t aware for a moment.

I talked about capitalism and its traits that are widely accepted.

You continue to come up with some company that is not known for military use in particular but for any measures against military use of their products either. You didn’t explain anything.

I can recommend to look into pre ww2 industry.

I don’t know why you think anyone with capital from Joe HomeOwner to the largely female CEO’s of the worlds biggest chaos merchants are all on the same page of selling weapons?

I don’t.

Because of the large (growing) inequality, the majority of capitalists is not as determing as much as what the most capital is invested in. In a system of unregulated wealth concentration, we would end up with very few very rich deciders at some point.

Nobody travels more than the rich. So if their sleep would be at risk, they would flee. Or they defend themselves.

Capitalism is not a person. So don’t cherrypick.

You didn’t explain economy beneath this OP, did you? Because you don’t even seem to differentiate between economy and capitalism.

Regulation survives longer than people, too.

Capitalists want others to loose money so their comparative wealth keeps growing. So if many lose in a war, few would profit, and start a war.

Are you American by any chance? This might explain a few things

I am not, but a lot of capitalists are. I also argued that national governments regulate a lot to prevent ruling by the rich. But capitalists went international since the invention of yachts and international competition+lobbyism prevents a lot of further regulation.

we have numerous examples, UK/France/Germany in ww2

I argued that destruction renews demand. So look at post-war economies, please. Also, during ww2 few large companies and their stake holders profited most: Ford, IBM, IG Farben, … which matches my statement about capitalism’s trend towards mono-/oligopolies and centralist decisions.

Economists and governments may be interested in prosperous competition, but companies are not.

Another aspect of wars is the slim future corridor (tunnel vision): Usually, investments resettle to only a handful profitable, too-big-to-fail companies, paired with an all-in mentality. Early investors win most. What else is capitalism?

What are soldiers usibg to contact their families? What graphics cards are used for tactical AI? What software is used, etc.

Stake holders decide, stake holders vote, stake holders are lobbyists. The richest capitalists hold the most stakes. They govern because they decide, what tools/weapons they offer to the people, to the government.

That’s why ‘last’ is in the OP. ;)

Weapons are produced by capitalists. War increases demand for weapons.
Destruction renews demand. War is destruction.
Capitalism has the tendency towards mono-/oligopolies rather than equity. Therefore, over time, decision power becomes centralized and it’s less likely that decisions wil be made for the overall economy rather than oligopolists. Usually, war is a centralist decision.

As all this is known since 3 centuries, existing national capitalisms took several measures against these tendencies. However, international capitalists are harder to manage.

Another chance we have is, most assets are collective attributions. E.g. if the stakeholders think, X, SpaceX, PayPal and Tesla, etc. aren’t worth a penny, Musk will rank down instantly.
