Maybe you just don't understand the levels of mind control.
For one thing, capitalism is not synonymous with free markets. When the medium enabling markets is privately managed, we are tenant farmers to the banks.
As a super organism, society evolves government as a form of nervous system, while mediums of exchange, aka, money and banking, serve as blood and the circulation system.
As cells in this entity, people tend to resent the control of government, while obsessing over the potential inherent in money. Consequently the banks have all the power and the only real job the flunkies allowed in office have, is running up the debt the banks need to grow metastatically.
The secret sauce of capitalism is public debt backing private wealth.
While people see money as signal to save and store, markets need it to circulate, consequently Econ 101 refers to money as both medium of exchange and store of value.
In your body, blood is the medium and fat is the store, as well as bone and muscle. Try mixing them up and see how long you live.
Roads are a medium, parking lots are a store. If we treated roads like we treat money, everything would be paved over and we would be fighting over our lots.
The hall closet is a store, the hallway is a medium. The average five year old can figure out the difference.
As a medium, money is a public utility, enabling markets, not a commodity to mine from them.
It's value is a function of everyone agreeing that it has value. That's why it is a contract.
As a medium, you own money like you own the section of road you are on, or the air and water flowing through your body. It doesn't have your picture on it, you don't hold the copyrights and, most importantly, are not responsible for its value, like a personal check.
There was a time that banks would issue their own currencies and were responsible for them, but now the Federal Reserve is. Which is basically a public private entity, where the public gets the responsibilities and the private gets the rewards.
This has been going on for a long time. Remember Jesus was all peace, love and turn the other cheek, except when it came to the money changers. That's when they crucified him.
Though it does seem the banks are having their, "Let them eat cake." moment.
Russia and China effectively went back to private government, with Putin and Xi as respective CEO's, specifically to control their oligarchs. Which is why our oligarchs and all their serfs hate them so much.
