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!
Capitalism is inherently evil, you can only make money if you already have it
As the natives said, how can your way be better when those who have nothing give to those who have everything?
But the greedy in charge lie and say it’s better, and they control ALL aspects of life because they have the money, news, police, etc.
Capitalism is slavery and is NOT in the constitution.
Capitalism isn’t evil. It has no moral. It doesn’t feel anything and doesn’t care. There is only one golden rule “accumolate capital”. That’s it. It doesn’t matter how. Abduct people to force them in to slavery. Sent kids in coalmines for 12 hours a day. Burn down villages. The logical end for capitalism is one person owning everything.
This isn’t evil or greedy. It is just people playing by the rules of the system. People aren’t bad people. It is the system that makes them act in evil or greedy ways. This is what capitalism wants us to act. This is how we are expacted to behave.

As i said there is no morality in capitalism. There is no evil way to act in capitalism because the only right way to act in capitalism is tu accumulate capital there is no morality norm to classify actions as evil. Slavery in capitalism isn’t evil, it is a logical way zo act under capitalism. When we classify an action under capitalism as evil we do it with morality norms from outside the system. When we use the category “evil” we put value in how we treat living beeings. A question that ist part of capitalism. That’s why actions under capitalism aren’t evil under the view of capitalism but can be seen as evil from a not capitalistic point of view.

Any system that does not inherently protect people is evil. It is a known fact that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Any system that does not intentionally address this issue is evil.
