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!
This idea, ‘there is no alternative’, is a keystone of the neoliberal ideology. It is a delusion. It is the mistake of thinking the current system is a fact of nature, somehow an inescapable feature of human civilization. We know that this system has not always existed, and was not always universal. We also know, if we just open our eyes, that it has failed and is collapsing. So. Regardless of the validity of the concept that there is no alternative, we had better imagine one.
