12. Even on that point, I disagree
Edited on Wed Jun-30-10 10:58 AM by Oregone
Firstly, yes, there is something wrong with a system structured in such a way that it creates the conditions for its own failure. Regulated or not, its a matter of time.

Secondly, I think there is something inherently wrong with disproportionally rewarding capital over labor, and making the right to profit off another man's labor and inheritable right. This situation creates perpetual, infinite ROI for those families who own capital, and perpetual bondage for those who do not (who are not allowed to a portion of the profits generated by their very labor). Though, I understand, its a great deal for the investor class


"I also notice you ignored my question in my last post."

Oh, you mean your irrelevant personal attack? Because it was simply off-topic and pointless. Owning a computer and using it to work has nothing to do with my support of the system of Capitalism. Now, if I owned a computer, employed someone to work on it at a meager wage, and collected all the profits, then yes, I would clearly be practicing capitalism, but thats not the case. My computer belongs to an employee-owned enterprise, which capitalism fears.
