This is what capitalism is and what it always leads to: siphoning all power to the top small % of people.
Slotos ( @Slotos@feddit.nl ) 10•2 months agoAs we all know, siphoning of the power to the small percentage of people had never happened prior to capitalism.
karashta ( @karashta@lemm.ee ) 15•2 months agoI never said nor implied anything about any other system. I spoke about capitalism.
SoleInvictus ( @SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 14•2 months agoAhhh, some fresh whataboutism!
anarchrist ( @anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 12•2 months agoNot the point. Look into economics of scale. Capitalism does this shit as a rule.
floofloof ( @floofloof@lemmy.ca ) English7•2 months agoIf other systems have the same effect, it’s a problem with them too. But it’s still a problem with capitalism.
Beetlejuice001 ( @Beetlejuice001@lemmy.wtf ) 4•2 months agoAs we all know, the workers get tired of it, revolt and the 1% disappear
theshatterstone54 ( @theshatterstone54@feddit.uk ) 4•2 months agoNot really. They just get replaced by the people leading the revolution (there are exceptions of course, like Robespierre in the French Revolution).
TheReturnOfPEB ( @TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com ) English1•2 months agoyou mean like feudalism ?
nondescripthandle ( @nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 16•2 months agoIts not just techno feudalism. Musk and Bezos trying to reinvent ‘company towns’ housing being hoarded and only rented, education only through massive debt. Tech is just part of it, its everywhere and should be called Neo-feudalism.
umbrella ( @umbrella@lemmy.ml ) 1•2 months agocompany towns and expensive education were a thing in the less regulated era of capitalism, its not new, we are just coming back to it. its late stage capitalism.
Midnitte ( @Midnitte@beehaw.org ) English1•2 months agoMaybe they just need a friend to fill in the void that they’re trying to fill with power and money.
