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 destroy people first, relationships and societies then, and the land and the world finally. It’s not an accident, because if you want to fight that, you’ll be destroyed too.

    Another way to see it is that it’s the opposite of society and civilization. It’s the law of the jungle. Competition applied to everything will only destroy everything. Civilization is when you stop to see the other as an opponent and you cooperate with it instead. Capitalism is seeing those people as opponents in a life or death competition, and making everything so that society is a life or death competition between them. It’s not pragmatic, it’s death.
