    I’m confused about what this picture is trying to say. What do the 2nd, 3rd and 4th tiers from the top — rule by royalty(?), indoctrination by the clergy, oppression by the military — have to do with capitalism?

      I think it’s more:

      • We rule you and take your money
      • We preach to you and take your money
      • We fight you and take your money/resources
      • We take your resources that you’ve grown

      Or it could be the rulling class takes the biggest cut, clergy the next biggest etc. with workers at the bottom supporting the entire system but receiving the least.
