Hi all,

I’m seeing a lot of hate for capitalism here, and I’m wondering why that is and what the rationale behind it is. I’m pretty pro-capitalism myself, so I want to see the logic on the other side of the fence.

If this isn’t the right forum for a political/economic discussion-- I’m happy to take this somewhere else.

Cheers!

    If anything anti-capitalist rhetoric is rooted in making sure all specialized roles get paid well instead of just the ones at the top.

    However, as far as I know, every communist experiment has replicated a class system based on the prestige of one’s occupation. A cleaner wasn’t quite the same person as a high-ranking member of the communist party in Soviet Union, for instance.

    I’m very interested in learning about theories how to circumvent such structures and systems from happening. It seems to me like it cannot be done with our current species, and communist theory definitely wasn’t enough to counter that (apparently) natural process.

        I mean… you made lots of good points and then you end with this:

        lol

        Don’t do that. It invalidates your message.
