Do you, like, believe that we just have some innate desire to be obedient to authority figures? That we really just mindlessly see someone in a position of power and instinctively blindly obey?

Two chapters is generous. I’d be surprised if they had even read the wikipedia summary of Capital.
(I don’t blame them too much tbh, it is a chore to get through.)
