Really think about it. It's lost on most people. You literally can do whatever you want, the only bounds you are put to are what the group decides, and you are part of the group.

There is no such thing as ownership or a right to freedom. You do not have any rights. Nothing belongs to you. You use things based on majority backing. There are no inalienable rights. You do not have a right to freedom. You do not have a right to happiness. You certainly do not have a right to food or water.

No matter how much we wish the universe to be nice and ordered; rights, freedoms, and ownership, its all made up by us.

Technically by fact of being a civilization we are a socialist group. Capitalism assumes individuals can have rights and ownership when really its just a Socialist Society pretending and roleplaying that there are freedoms and rights.

Can a "capitalist" society go on pretending ad infinitum?

What happens when more people start to realize this? Is it in our nature to then stand up even more and live in a better world or turn to the darker aspects of our nature?
