Capitalism Didn't Replace Slavery, It Scaled It

[2 Up 2 Down]

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

The problem isn't Capitalism. The problem is the people at the top. Every system can be exploited.

If we switched to Communism or Socialism tomorrow, would we be better off? No. Because the people at the top would still run on the same mantra. We would probably be worse off.

 

[Chrishaune]

It doesn't matter whether it's capitalism or something else.

Certain groups of people have determined that they will enslave everybody else. They see it as somebody is going to be a slave and it won't be them. This goes down to the way individual businesses operate as well. If you work for a company today, they pretty much see you as a slave.

Every government sees it's citizens as slaves.

If the majority of your income isn't "passive" (Stocks, Bonds, Rent) then you aren't a capitalist; you're capital. Capitalists are owners. If you ain't an owner, you're owned.

│ And the only way to get to that point is exploitation of labor. I always tell people this. The goal has always been to step away and create self-sustainability.

Capitalism at its core needs a bottom class to exploit

The daddy of capitalism, Adam Smith wrote in Wealth of Nations (book 5, Chapter 1, part 2):

"Wherever there is great property there is great inequality. For one very rich man there must be at least five hundred poor, and the affluence of the few supposes the indigence of the many. The affluence of the rich excites the indignation of the poor, who are often both driven by want, and prompted by envy, to invade his possessions. It is only under the shelter of the civil magistrate that the owner of that valuable property, which is acquired by the labour of many years, or perhaps of many successive generations, can sleep a single night in security."

And

“Civil government, so far as it is instituted for the security of property, is in reality instituted for the defense of the rich against the poor, or of those who have some property against those who have none at all.”

No, Capitalism at its core doesn't need a bottom class to exploit

We could all live well if wages were kept up and products kept reasonably priced. Someone who worked at a warehouse in the 50s could afford a home, stay at home wife, and kids all under the guise of Capitalism. Greed is what shipped jobs overseas, raised the prices of cars, and kept wages stagnant.

responsibility is power*

Not really. We could all live well if wages were kept up and products kept reasonably priced. Someone who worked at a warehouse in the 50s could afford a home, stay at home wife, and kids.

Come on, breh. We had gloves off Capitalism in the 1800s and by the end of that century we, in America, had mass poverty and the wealthiest people in the world

This just shows a misunderstanding of communism and socialism. The whole point of Communism is not having a "top". Socialism is the different processes of getting there. Slavery WAS a capitalist endeavour. The slaves were property to use money. This cannot exist under communism or socialism because they look to abolish ownership of private property.

Gloves off Capitalism = Greed.

Again, the system isn't the problem. Greed is.

If we switched to Socialism or Communism we would not be better off. We would actually be paying far more in taxes, while still having shyt infrastruction, education, medicine.

Yeah because wealthy people don't find and use loopholes.


Most countries use a combination of some form.

Don't know what you mean in the first line. Responding to the second. Socialism is a transition period to Communism, redistributing the wealth made from Capitalism. Its not a dictator flicking a switch deciding which economy they want to try out.

Capitalism is basically greed. Adam Smith laid it all out right from the beginning.


Infrastructure, education, and medicine are based on how the government chooses to run the country. Look at how our infrastructure and education are dropping.
Cuba is known for having the best doctors and they aren't a capitalist country
