    Dear capitalists: If your excuse that you can’t ‘survive’ (actual excuse I’ve heard from capitalists) without gouging people, your system is busted.

    That’s kind of a scary thought, that I think humanity is about to try out next. As in, who needs the humans anymore, when robots will do the same tasks with far less effort?:-|

    It’s existed since slavery. Thinly veiled with ‘we’re an individualistic society’ and ‘pull yourself up by your bootstraps’.

    WHAT IF:

    We didn’t rely on a system that requires infinite growth to make shareholders money that drives under- and unemployment in order to make those profits?

    We fucking didn’t. Our lords n masters decided they needed a new underclass to keep them going and this is all gonna end very very badly. Importing people from fucking fighting nations into polite nations causes 2 fighting nations.

    OK, so propose a system that’s actually been used at scale before that doesn’t have the same issues as capitalism. I’m all ears

      Lmao, The fact that something hasnt been used at scale doesn’t mean it isn’t feasible.
