Normal =/= good, but merely the norm, what is usual or what is expected. At points in history, slavery and colonialism were the normal for powers who could afford it, doesn’t make it healthy or good - it just was. A mode of production that dominates the entire world and has done so for 100+ years is by definition the current normal, to say otherwise is absurd and leads to the conclusion that what’s normal doesn’t even exist (anymore), which doesn’t make any sense.
There’s much better arguments one can make such as how capital is destructive, alienates people from species being, how it runs on worker exploitation (in a non-moral but materialist sense), how it’s irrational when it comes to organizing production (anarchy of markets where nothing is planned leading to tons of waste, inefficiency), etc.
As for my edit, I’m not sure how you’ve read it as anything more than me attacking a leftoid grifter peddling nonsense that leftists vaguely agree with and making absolute bank by charging hundreds of dollars for it.
