    The aristocrats were all in on capitalism when it first gained traction

    No they weren’t. The aristocrats were upset that the bourgeoisie were getting uppity and taking their power. Read the communist manifesto, it was written back when capitalism was first overtaking feudalism. People were salty! The French had a revolution!
