Capitalism is exploitation of people, resources, the environment, and the government for money and power.

Adam smith was right. Selfishness and greed are the biggest motivations for human action, and capitalism is the only system that uses those incentives to create value for society.

“the free market mythology argues that the most ruthless, selfish, opportunistic, greedy, calculating plunderers, applying the most heartless measures in cold-blooded pursuit of corporate interests and wealth accumulation will produce the best results for all of us through something called the ‘invisible hand’.” - michael parenti

after everything we’ve been through, covid, the Biden status-quote years, now Trump, and wars i can’t even name here, how are people still asking this? capitalism is broken at the root. it runs on profit first, always. social democracy can soften it a bit, but it does not change the system underneath.

obviously not. that old way of seeing capitalism is obsolete. now if capitalism wants to survive it needs to be based on a welfare society, where all social rights are guaranteed for everyone.

Capitalism is the only just system. It relies on competition to deliver the best product for the lowest price, including labor, rather than depending on the angelic human nature.

capitalism is the perfect system so long as there are safety regulations (think about crime, police, laws, food safety, etc)

If they do it for profit they have no incentive to create good products only to produce as cheaply as possible to maximize profits, that’s what Adam Smith forgot to mention in his theory.

Capitalism suggests you don’t need someone in charge at the top telling how people should live their lives and conduct their business.

It seems clear that the best economy is the one that prospers the most people. What we have now is not that and even past reforms that have been removed lacked in that way. it seems like maybe trying something different is the right way to go.

We just want capitalism with rules and regulations. It worked for us for like 70 years.

the want to make profit is not merely reducible to “greed and selfishness”.

Adam Smith’s own theory’s call for strong regulation to ensure competition. That without strong regulation ensuring competition, capitalism fails. Smith also recommends some markets should have shared costs. America’s “capitalism” is not Adam Smiths. Far from it.

Capitalism can only flourish under real competition. Corporations are not people; so no political donations. Ban stock shorting to prevent hype abuse.

Hey, the answer is YES. Clearly, actually. I need to satisfy someone else’s needs to get something in return. I see no immorality.
