Real capitalism has never been tried

I love my job and hate capitalism. Where do I fit in?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

It's natural to enjoy the work. It's the hours, useless leaders and chronically, systemically inadequate compensation that we can only hope to resolve by progressing beyond capitalism.

Deep down, nobody want's to close the door to the opportunities for self-enrichment presented by capitalism.

imagine being so brainwashed to not even be able to conceive of a system that provides better opportunities for self enrichment than the one where majority of the population serves a small capital owning class 🤡

Given the baseline adult education of the USA being about Grade 6 equivalent, 54% in a recent article, so more than half, I'd say the clowns are winning. Brainwashed, sure, it takes wisdom to understand the manipulatuon. Mosr people want the money, willing to demean themselves and enslave others for the opportunity. It's a brutal world out in reality. Send in the clowns. Nice emoji kid.

In 1450 there were faux-world weary peasants intoning solemnly about the natural and immutable nature of monarchy. Know that you are part of a long and useless tradition, and spare us the glimpse into your sterilized imagination.

Welcome to modernity, where the dream for all is capitalism.

How wretched for you

Meanwhile in reality, there are more communists in the west now than there have ever been.

The only thing worse than capitalism is the hate boner lemmies have for it.

Is there though?

Or do I just see dumb posts like this a lot?

I'd love to see an example of anyone saying they love capitalism.

Nobody cares what you think is dumb, stop attention seeking.

So that's a no for any examples at all of people saying they love capitalism.

I love how everyone is attacking me for pointing out no one loves capitalism lol

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
