    Capitalism isn’t the problem.

    Edit: I would argue wealth inequality is the problem. You can have (a form of) capitalism and still fix wealth inequality.

      Capitalism is a tool, used by 2000 people to rule the rest. Hierarchy is the problem. The idea that one person is better than the other.

      This idea needs to die already.

      But yes, money is a good tool to brainwash people into misunderstanding the worth of their work and their property. This „inflation“ treadmill is insane and makes you run faster in the hamster wheel while the rich dont work at all!

      And may the odds be ever in your favor.

      Capitalism may not be the problem, but “country being ruled by capitalism” definitely is.

      Capitalism will seek profits over all else. If that requires implementing corporatism as a form of government it will endeavour to do so. That is the point of the whole god damn thing.

      Capitalism is an extremely potent and powerful tool to create profits. Whatever else it does is incidental. If the food system can get away with creating a profit by making you eat sawdust then it will. All costs are externalised as much as possible and all profit is privatised as much as possible. This is not a bug but a feature.
