Capitalism is a pain in the arse
Capitalism has proven its superiority over socialism when it comes to economy, no doubt about it.
But how could something bad like socialism ever developp?
Because capitalism is the damn most awful thing in the world.
Just 1 example: Ever heard about 'Manchester Capitalism'?
Little children workin in factories together with their parents like slaves, 16 hours a day, diyin like flies because of horrible life and work conditions.
Was these conditions which inspired people like 'Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels' to wrote the 'Kommunistisches Manifest'.
They were good people, tryin to make the world better just like many others, Che Guevarra', 'Fidel Castro' etc, etc.
Yes, socialism/communism failed bigtime, costs millions of lives, in fact it will never work because it assumes that people are good and they aren't but it was born because capitalism was a pain in the arse.
Our life conditions have been pretty good in the last 60 years in the western world, not although their was so called socialism but because of it.
Western world needed to show their people that capitalism system is superior or they might would have switched to socialism.
Now socialism is dead and there's no need to still be good or fair for our economic system.
I expect nothin good in the future. This diddlyin system will destroy all we love because there's only 1 value that counts within it.
Morality? Friendship? Peace? Nature? Solidarity? Humanity?
You know it! MONEY
Capitalism will destroy democracy, in fact, big companies dictates politicions already what to do.
Don't know a solution myself but a social order build on money as the 'Holy Gral' won't work in the long terms.
Your thoughts?
