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!
The idea that workers, the people who are actually making a product, should have (at the very least) a stake in owning the means of that production, should be self-evident. There is an entire class of people, who have all the power and money, that are essentially unnecessary middle men that add nothing of value to society.
And somehow, they’ve convinced most of the world that we should be grateful for it.
I’m sure most of the world think differently if they had the time to think and discuss the underpinnings of our society. Most people are getting home off a 9 hour shift and don’t want to read about philosophy even if they had endless free time.
