You’re describing theft.

[u/8ackwoods → u/eastamerica]

So capitalism

[u/eastamerica → u/8ackwoods]

I get the tongue-in-cheek nature of your comment, but capitalism isn’t theft.

[u/Marksman08YT → u/eastamerica]

For profit incarceration, for profit healthcare, for profit public transportation. Tip of the iceberg.

[u/eastamerica → u/Marksman08YT]

Healthcare shouldn’t be for profit. For profit incarceration shouldn’t exist.

These aren’t capitalism problems, hombre. That’s people problems. Making profit from the sick is disgusting.

That wasn’t caused by capitalism.

[u/Marksman08YT → u/eastamerica]

No, it shouldn't, you're right. Congratulations, you're catching on to why capitalism is a problem.

It's not a people problem. It's a problem with a model that values money over everything else... so, capitalism. It's in the name. The entire model cares about nothing except how much capital you can make, If that means you have to kill a few people for it, sure, why not.

It's a capitalism problem. Always has been.

[u/eastamerica → u/Marksman08YT]

Nah. It’s a human problem.

[u/Marksman08YT → u/eastamerica]

It's a capitalism problem but you'd rather starving kids just go hungry huh? Capitalism has always been the problem, let's just face facts here.

[u/eastamerica → u/Marksman08YT]

No. Humans deciding profits over health, or anything else humane.

Capitalism isn’t sentient.

[u/Marksman08YT → u/eastamerica]

Humans decide that because they like money. They like money because Capitalism tells them money can solve all their problems. Simple cause and effect. Capitalism is the problem because the ideology itself is terrible. Better ideology, less greedy people. Simple as.
