| The problem is that the same people who say this also argue in favor of optimal extinction. There is clearly something broken about the neoclassical market economy where it is optimal to not have children and to collapse the ecosystem with climate change (the economist who got a riksbank price for his climate change work suggested that 4°C warming is economically optimal). |

| Capitalism also marked the end of humanity and is the single greatest force driving human extinction. But yall money driven brains cant comprehend that :) |

I don't think Humans can ever do anything other than capitalism because at the end of the day, a farmer making food and delivering it is just going to STOP working when he finds out a daycare owner has made $15 in 3 years without actually taking care of kids. And everyone just bubble wraps the explanation - and then they disallow anger. The farmer then writes up a proposal for starting a daycare and the food stops flowing. Everyone dies in communism. | | |
| ▲ | sevenzero a day ago | parent [-] | | >Everyone dies in communism. Everyone dies in capitalism as well though. Everyone dies generally at some point in life. Reality is, currently most of us are wage slaves and I'd love to work a little less and still be able to afford life. An alternative to capitalism would be socialism and killing corrupt people off. | | |
| ▲ | jazzyjackson a day ago | parent [-] | | > killing corrupt people off Cool cool that doesn’t sound tyrannical at all | | |
| ▲ | sevenzero 21 hours ago | parent [-] | | I never claimed I was against tyranny. Tyranny thats emitted as rightful punishment from the masses is fine in my opinion. Single people having power emitting tyranny is a whole different topic. Its about outweighed consensus for me. |

| > Capitalism is the single greatest force for improvement in the human condition. Capitalism has done a lot of good in the world, and it has also done a lot of bad. The problem isn't that capitalism exists, it is that far too many people treat it as a religion rather than a tool. |
