And that would definitely make the proletariat' life much better

their sole role is collecting and maintaining wealth, not to be confused with earning it

"Earning it" = inheriting it from his father, who inherited it from his father, etc.

which is why the incentives argument for capitalism is ironic: why should one work for the benefit of another who will only collect the fruits of their labour for their own gain?

Because of the illusion of promotion

for the prospect of starting a business yourself?

also that is how most entrepreneurs start a business, because unlike most people, they have the money to start up, and something to fall back on

exactly

they just inherited it

exactly

Accumulation of wealth at one pole is at the same time accumulation of misery, agony of toil, slavery, ignorance, brutality, mental degradation, at the opposite pole.

'incentives'

I wonder how incentivised component part assemblers in foxconn are when they know Tim Cook owns the world's first $1tr company and they can barely get by

How else could we find a system where things like the Iphone could flourish?

Maybe the Soviet Union

iPhones are shit anyway lol

Considering they invented cellphones

true, the SU also had video games

But seriously, financial incentive is not the only incentive, nor the best or most effective incentive there is for productive capacity to flourish

the myth is that people like Leonid woud build this phone because she dreams of getting rich one day? But talented individuals usually care more about their craft than anything else

People who care for their craft will put more effort into it

Financial incentive motivates people to cut corners

Or things like art, commercial art. Netflix or what not.

How did USSR artists get funding for movies?

look at open source games and whatnot

people put effort into that, surely, but are willing to let it be enjoyed by others at no expense

There’s nothing immoral about the accumulation of wealth

Are you a Bible thumper or what?

yes?

The accumulation of wealth alone is immoral

Isn't it fair for someone who dedicated so much time into it to be rewarded at least by making a living out of it, or a getting better condition

Who says they can't?

Each to his ability

How is it immoral?

Soviet Borzo just cleared that up with his quote from Lenin's state and the revolution

it is immoral because you are doing nothing to earn it, and those earnings do not come from mars

The morality rests upon the person using it

What do you mean doing nothing to earn it?

oh hey hooty is back
