    Under capitalism the people are a natural resource to be exploited for wealth, just like minerals, wood, and arable land.

        I’m sorry I must have missed the part of Karl Marx’s writings where he said all peasants must be herded into death camps?

        But that’s even besides the point. Communism is a complete paradigm change and very few people are asking for that. Universal Education, Healthcare, and Income are compatible with well regulated market systems. Yeah there’s tankies that want a centrally planned economy run by an authoritarian figure, and there’s anarchists who want everyone to slot into a commune with no higher level of governance, (thus, Communism). But calling social reforms Communism is a bad faith argument and disinformation. Don’t be that guy.

      The clue is in the term “Human Resources”. I can’t believe people just accept the existence of this phrase.

        Yeah. And “human capital” is another one that just makes my skin crawl.

        FWIW, there are a bunch of folks trying to shift the practice over to “People Ops”, while refering to employees as actual people, which is way better. As a bonus, this gives the formerly called HR people a more meaningful scope for their work.

        That said, the name or the idea does’t keep some from whitewashing or running with PeopleOps as a kind of virtue signal. Consider this article that minces all of this together while making it sound normal: https://peoplemanagingpeople.com/articles/rise-of-people-ops/

      The final conclusion of capitalism is one solitary person holding all money. Like some crazy real life form of monopoly.

        That’s because the game was specifically meant to show people what capitalism does.
