Capitalism is a wonderful system but only if the capital is separated from the Banks and the State in the ability to manipulate it.
This is where a lot breaks down between the left and right in the false dichotomy.
The left says "capitalism is bad" but they mean control of capital is bad. They don't know they mean it that way, but they do. And they are right.
The right says "capitalism is good" but they mean free markets devoid of government intrusion are good. They don't know they mean it that way, but they do. And they are right.
See kids the problem is this, capitalism in a system where banks and governments have control over the money will always become socialism.
A central bank is antithetical to capitalism 🙂
And we should no longer even bother with the term capitalism.
The term is free market.
Isms are all 🐂 💩 because they are ideologies not actual systems. Ideologies are very easily corrupted, redefined and shifted.
Systems are material and hence binary they either are in place or not.
Yes! My understanding is that “capitalism” Was created as a derogatory term for the free market. I want to say it was coined by Marx but I don’t know.
The first use of the term in print at least, was in The newcomes by william makepeace in 1854.
But marx popularised it in Das kapital, so thats where people know it from.
It's almost like some people want the middle class divided and at each other's throats, huh?
The tale of capitalism versus crony-capitalism.
Do the government and system next and they will find the same thing applies.
The government and system are not inherently corrupt but it's those that corrupt each that are at fault. The government under the Constitution is to be ran from the bottom up by the people or citizens. A citizen are those that believe in the Constitution and breathe the life into it. Sadly the corrupt ones also attempt to breathe life into it.
The system is also not inherently corrupt as it is nothing more than an inanimate system set up by the people designed to uphold GOD given rights with equal justice to their fellow citizens. Each person is to be created equal.
The evil fuckers fuck this up and try and use it for control.
Capitalism today is not what Capitalism was supposed to be. Its been watered down into something it is not.
The problem is not capitalism, its hording of money.
