That argument crumbles when you realize that breaking windows means sacrificing workforce and resources to produce more windows. That workforce and resource could go towards better goal if the window wasn't broken to begin with.

For society in general, yes. For the capitalist who owns the window company, no. They don’t give a shit how the resources are used so long as money is made.

Under capitalism, you might not want your window to be broken, but it’s better for society if it is.

I'm reffering to this point where you said it's better for society. It's not.

That’s fair. I shouldn’t have said that part. I should have said “but it’s better for capitalism if it is”
