Capitalism

[ttomthebomb]

and why it brings out the worst in people.

Capitalism is the scourge of the economic system. EVERYTHING is private. People say that a communist or even a socialist system abuses it's workers, but those don't even compare to those of capitalism. There were two types of capitalist business owners, Robber Barons and Captains of Industry. Don't let those names fool you, they were both evil in their own ways. Robber Barons directly abused their workers. Captains of Industry indirectly abused their workers, they treated them "fairly" but in reality they told their workers to buy the company's products which they raise the prices on to cope with treating the workers with respect.

This is just an example, I'll continue in a later post.

The capitalistic excuse to not even TRY socialism is "it'd never work" but in reality they just want to make all the fucking money they can.

Exactly, they will do everything and anything to have more and more.

 

[krazedkat]

Exactly. And what is with the republicans being against good healthcare?

 

[Knight_mybb_import2516]

The extreme taxation they would need to be put upon to fund it.

 

[krazedkat]

So? Not really actually, they could cut funding to their goddamned military, could they not?

The same goddamned military that we so hastily send to every corner of the globe? We built this situation for ourselves with our pointless housekeeping of other nations.

This picture explains capitalism insanely well:
Also, if you haven't already looked, my quotes explain capitalism quite well too.

Indeed the states did. (I'm Canadian by the way).

In a communist utopia, there would be no need for military.
That would solve all of our problems.

That is not true at all.
How me capitalist governments have used their army for internal problems. (More than a handful of times.) Remember that this does not include civil wars.

I assume you are speaking of America.
America has not been 'housekeeping' other nations.
The reason America bloomed in the 19-somethings was because of the profits made from war. Today the profits are bigger than the costs though what capitalism has done is that the profits are privatized and the costs been added to the debt of America as a country. It is parasites that have stolen money from the country.

America is dependent on its wars as the weapon industry is one of the largest there. What has made and what makes America the superpower that it is today, are the wars.

What has been the problem in all ideologies is the power being taken by a minority and has become a timocracy, oligarchy, plutocracy &etc. The key system of economics and politics is one that prevents this the best by having syndicalism or collectivist anarchistic variants.

I agree with this. The American economy is fueled by wars and vice versa.
If I had to choose between collectivism and syndicalism, I would probably choose collectivism. Syndicalism still has corporations and a somewhat based capitalist system while rejecting a socialist style. I like the idea of being able to terminate wages and freely take food and things you need, but I am no supporter.

It would, I long to move to a socialist/communist society.
