Cross-posted from “Explaining capitalism to aliens” by @Confidant6198@lemmy.ml in !comics@lemmy.ml
In all fairness, the concept of owning things isn’t unique to capitalism - it’s Personal property vs. “Private” property. Whether it’s money or bartering, the things you bought you own via your own hard work, and that’s your personal property.
Private property shouldn’t be a thing. A corporation shouldn’t own anything - there should always be a person on that contract that can be held to account. If you want to profit from your enterprise, you should be prepared to go down with it.
We have confused many an alien…
“Good question, good question! The answer: Propaganda! Good old fashioned propaganda. We keep the larger class splintered into smaller groups that fight each other and we sit back and laugh all the way to the bank!”
