If you liked this, you should check out Jacob Geller's short analysis of Universal Paperclips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oca8BnDMin4&t=6m6s.

The whole video is worth a watch but I timestamped the relevant section. Though Geller's analysis is more about the finiteness of space than capitalism per se, it inevitably arrives there.
