It is not hardly a false construct, it is capitalism. You are either an exploiter or you are exploited, if you are lucky you can be exploited, exploiting others (It is called an MBA). Capitalism exploits everything, that is what it does. If you are to be successful, then you must learn to own slaves (exploit labor) or learn to slave well. So unless you have some other construct to offer that defines capitalism as something else, then you have no cause to reject it.

that's both limited and false constructs

but an interesting post nevertheless

Careful analysis of Black institutions that uphold mis-education and Africans who have been crippled by it reveal a number of highly identifiable features. First, these institutions will favor and their patrons will embrace what psychologist Wade Nobles (1986) calls conceptual incarceration. Conceptual incarceration is the term for Black imprisonment in White belief systems and knowledge bases.

When it comes to defining themselves and the world, mis-educated Blacks restrict their range of thought (and action) by their habit of drawing exclusively from their European background. By limiting themselves to this one, small facet of their vast, tricultural heritage, they confine themselves to a tiny, narrow corner of the world where they sit locked in a mental prison (colony) with only one set of lenses (European) to see the world.

Well no one has come up with succeeding outside of capitalism,

I have not once seen someone say: this is how we can not be capitalists. To the contrary, I keep hearing things like education, entrepreneurialism, home ownership, investing, and all sorts of other things to generate wealth.

"I'm sick of the war and the civilization that created it. Let's look to our dreams, and the magical; to the creations of the so-called primitive peoples for new inspirations."
- Jaques Vache and Andre Breton

"Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone."
-John Maynard

"You know that in our country there were even matriarchal societies where women were the most important element. On the Bijagos islands they had queens. They were not queens because they were the daughters of kings. They had queens succeeding queens. The religious leaders were women too..."
-- Amilcar Cabral, Return to the Source, 1973
