The ability of the unsubstantial people to gather and unite had to be squashed.
Or was doing more harm then good and lost it support
Go back and look at the 1930's and the aftermath of the depression, the public certainly "got it" then.
Oh those 1930s full of rational people, nothing every happen bad in that time period *cough* WWII *cough*
Our version of capitalism is cancerous; growth for the sake of growth until the host is destroyed.
As a man cautious of the perpetual growth curve you almost had me until you jump off the deep end and praise poverty and an of end of our innovation fountainhead. We can find a balance and capitalism is apart of that evolution. A free market of voluntary transactions works better for innovation and freedom than other other system tried. We need to build from our progress no doubt as the earth is a living ecosystem that will not accept perpetual growth, but you want to take it out at the knees for its flaws. No!
What we call capitalism is in reality colonialism and wealth extraction, same as it ever was.
Umm, well it seem to raise nations out of poverty at a much faster rate than that previous system. So you may what to clarify your meaning? Do you feel these capitalist gain aren’t being shared globally?
The goal of any capitalist corporation is to force labor costs as close to zero as is legally, or illegally if you can get away with it, as possible.
Umm, okay first we have free labour its call volunteering and you can get people to do it to a point than their needs for things like food and shelter and healthcare tend to come in and you have a choice. Help them or lose your workers.
You act like slavery is a profitable business model. You can certainly gain wealth from it by lower labour costs to a point but your productive sucks(draining in other ways), you constantly risk a revolt(devastating to production), you have to maintain the social system which is resistant to a natural state (costly). Just to name a few. So today you see most of it in what Oil Wealth Nations or with traffickers always exploiting economic migrants in short term ventures. You really think those are the bustling competitors compared to our system here in America?
It bad business move used by desperately uncompetitive actors. The market is our main defence not the main driver of slavery.
Care to speak to the value question. CEO effect market capitalization in the billions where as worker generally only bring in a small fraction of revenue higher than their wages. It called a loss verse a raise in value and it changes based on skill, availability and impact. Why not side with the neutral explanation for the difference rather than some sinister force you have to explain and define?
Privatized gains versus socialized losses for the Wall Street bankster class
Internalized profit versus externalized risk and expense for the "job creator" class
Socialism for the arostocracy versus laissez-faire capitalism for the masses
I am with you there and that is exasperated by regulation and government control.
Capital is colonial and capital is simply moving on to greener more exploitable pastures.
That is one way to look at it at suppose…but you know colonial doesn’t have to focus on the abuses there was good created there as well. It is an analogy and you need to watch for logical leaps and other complicating factors.
We live in this colonial authoritarian society. It arrived on this land mass from another land it had already rolled over after brutally subjugating the tribes of Europe. Then it “discovered” this “new world”, eradicated the people present, took over the land, imported slaves from Africa, and colonized this land mass, also for the pleasure of a male dominator god and his most affluent well connected adherents, to the detriment of society at large. “New world”, same disease; material gluttony and an inability to understand one’s biological place in the natural world. But alas, the world has so much natural wealth to be horded, the peasants be damned, let them eat cake. And the expansion continues, others must be vilified in the minds of the masses, oh thy name sweet "Capitalism".
Mmm, as compared too?
