Spacergon :

Capitalism does not produce rational decisions

ohhhh ouuuhhhh :

it’s so weird that “money is the root of all evil” and greed being bad is taken for granted, and yet that’s the sole driver of our entire system

ohok4566 :

i need to read theory desperately but can capitalism not exist with a bottom and top ceiling (basically no poor and no ultra rich) w/ a social safety net ? basically democratic socialism

You have to do good to make a profit, not evil.

you will have more in common with average citizens in Moscow, Tehran, Beijing, London, Havana, and DC then any person has in common with their government officials. all people want is productive work they can take pride in, food and shelter for their family, and a better life for their kids than what they had. working class solidarity is a global tradition

Alex.travel9 :

usa's Rep & Dem parties both follow neo-liberalism. A political ideology centered on corporate profits. Deregulation of financial institutions allow capital manipulation in markets & monopolies, tax cuts that increase profits directly, privatization of gov functions like prisons, military, Healthcare, and more by convincing you the gov is ineffective/inept. two sides, same coin
