the wealthy do not create prosperous economic conditions they accumulate capital and will do ANYTHING to reduce labour costs
what do you want to own exactly instead of money? A teddy bears foot that you sew on in an assembly line?
🐻
there is a class that collects rent
and a class that pays it
or do you think you are entitled to the entire bear?
you seem to think that money is the problem here the problem isn't what people are being paid with
The collectors dont actually do anything
the problem is how much they're being paid
no company can offer fair wages, because otherwise they'll have no profit
do you realize that you have agency?
I can choose how I'm exploited or I can choose to die on the street
that's not much of a choice
but on a macroeconomic scale this causes a contradiction because the less money the proletariat has the less people there are to buy the capitalists products
so the solution in the last 30 years was to just give credit to ppl
It'S vOlUnTaRy
or you can start your own business that pays its workers fairly and puts the others out of business, stealing their intellectual capital
do you know how hard starting a business is?
easy as fuck
you have to take risks and sink a lot of money into the project
Wealth is inherited
isn't the whole point of an entrepeneur that they take risks?
yeah, if you don't want to take risk, you can work for someone else that does
no risk, no reward
so it's easy as fuck to take risks?
Capitalism is probably going to benefit me greatly and i can criticize it
calculated risks
but you cant..
critical theory might explain this
all it takes is one good idea
and you can become a millionaire
no it just takes owning land
or parts of the economy in shares
this isn't feudalism dude
or state capitalism like Marx was talking about
didn't nikola tesla die in debt?
that was his choice
capital itself generates capital
it was his choice to be cheated by edison?
he was promised 10 thousand dollars for his ideas and he was scammed
he stopped working for Edison
