Just when I think exploitation can't get any lower. Capitalism really is a different kind of evil.
| I love USA.
| I kind of want to see this compilation of darkest moments. What would they even title the files they send? “Top 100 worst psychotic mental breakdowns + bloopers”??
| That is just evil, capitalism my ass, it's just people without empathy doing they always do, treating people as means of revenue.
| Ultra capitalism just dropped!
And things are going cyberpunk's way real fast!
| Muh-MUH GABIDALISEM!!! THIS MEANS GOMMUNISEM ALWAYS RIGHT!!!!

I'm sure even most communists don't think this way.
It's also massively stupid to believe the issues and failures of communist systems proofed somehow that capitalism is never wrong and that it should never be criticized.

Typical conspiracy theory
"The problem is not the system, it's just certain people who corrupt it because they are evil"
In fact the capitalist system is all about rationalizing, evaluating and calculating values of goods, people, work and everything. At least by the people who are in charge (hint: they share the systems name). There is no conspiracy or evil vs. good people, it's just systemic.
| >>833298 how is is it a "conspiracy theory" to think bad people in power are the problem? Do you even know what conspiracy means?
Saying that there is a group of rich "capitalists" who are an elite in charge that makes so the system is meant to "systematically" screw us over is literally the definition of a conspiracy theory!

You're aware that everything you pointed at can be explained by the post you responded to, right?
| >>833303 change the people or their beliefs and the system remains. When power is granted to people and organizations based on how much profit they make, people with power will do what makes profit, no need for a conspiracy
| >>833477 the existence of competent leaders completely debunks your statements, any system has people seeking power for their own gain, the system doesnt make people corrupt, corruption is just another side of humanity, if we keep blaming society and not actually focus on the individual getting power, we will keep fighting against eachother while the bad people in power just watch us.
| If capitalism was really THE problem then before capitalism was invented we would not have wars for resources, pillaging, cults or attempts of world domination and colonialism, stop believing in that political hoopla and face the reality that it is just bad people getting in important jobs they should not get into and making it worse for everybody.

Capitalism isn't without its faults, the capitalistic system is almost made out to be be easily corruptable. Honing in on the individuals behind the corruption while ignoring the system's faults is just the other side of the same coin you're arguing against. Reality isn't as black and white as you're trying to make it out to be.

Also, there's a lot of logical fallacies in your posts. You should definetly read up on those if you want your opinions to be taken seriously in the future.
| >>833490 how can you say capitalism is made to be easily corruptable when we had imperialism, feudalism and dictatorships? Do you even know history?
Like EVERY SINGLE SYSTEM EVER has had a moment of bad leadership and yet you wanna say capitlism is at fault for what literally is a problem that has endured for as long as human societies were a thing.
| >>833491 point is, you can't blame capitalism when people act selfish and greedy like OP is trying to do, capitalism has it's problems but that is not one of them.
