And as you said. It inspired the communist manifesto so it must have been a banger to have inspired the most necessarily destructive and authoritarian system we’ve ever devised.
Kapital draws attention to what is wrong with capitalism
From a heavily anti capitalist viewpoint
No
it talks about the inherent contradictions within it
the economic recession?
its all been proven
If something contradicts itself is there mot something inherently wrong with it?
If so
We are in agreeance
Well yes. But people are often inherently contradictory.
What im getting at is
Kapital draws attention to capitalisms flaws
Perhaps it’s why capitalism is too. It’s a system developed by experience. Rather than whiteboard theorists.
And literally inspired someone to invent an economic system that is capitalisms antithesis
Slen thats a fantasitc point
Also very profound
You should probably right that down
Look at all the great institutions and systems we have. How many contradictions there are and how it still works.
Capitalism also enables the existence of certain social programs that are indeed functional even if they arent efficent
And then look at the systems we try to craft in isolation. Without a tradition to really draw upon. Most of them leads to tragedy.
Capitalism is bad because I can't afford London rent by writing articles for a website.

You cant have optional free healthcare or optional welfare if you need it in a communist country
Thats just what healthcare and your income isp
There is no option for something of a better quality that costs the individual money
On an incredibly basic level
Unless you’re a corrupt official and then it’s all gravy.
Capitalism is an economic system that allows a person to determine their level of income
Communism is an economic system where your income is determined by the state
Which cannot improve
And can only get worse
Why do you think Communism failed?
well lets just call it what they actually are
Socialist states
Fault reminds me of whiteroom theorists trying to get the most powerful min/max DND character and then have it all collapse on his head the moment he enters a session.
“It wasnt real communism”
I know thats the only thing you can come up with
its easier to deflect
than to be confronted with facts
