It's even worse, man... At least the robots in The Matrix weren't capitalists (I don't think... I honestly forget most of the Animatrix)

They definitely weren't capitalist, lmao. They only wanted to make the perfect system. You could consider their quest for perfection "greed".

They didn't really have to try, though, they had a great system in place. Humans lived long enough for turnover and plenty of energy provided. That glitch was an issue, but contained. At least until someone decided to fall in love. Then the whole system failed.

Probably the realist part of the matrix.
