    Being fair, capitalism works great in games. The system necessarily determines a winner, there are no externalities inside of a video game, and the people whose labor you’re profiting from are NPCs.

      Just now I realized I’m the NPC in some rich asshole capitalists life.

        I think it works pretty well in real life too.

        Privileged, child, or petite bourgeois aspirations?

                Reading an actual book on economics makes it impossible for a benevolent individual to be a communist, at least without a physically painful amount of cognitive dissonance.

                Oh, you sound really informed on this. What books of marxist economics have you read to come to this conclusion? What theory of subjective value based economics books?

                I mean, I’ve just spent over a decade studying various schools of economics, maybe you have much more insight than me on this topic.

                    You’re literally a self described libertarian lmao

                    Anyway, stop dodging the question. What economic writings have you read from Marx that you’re basing your opinion of Marxist economics on? What problems did you have with them?
