The world isn't fair. There isn't a 'system' in the world that actually is capable of balancing everything out, blaming capitalism which has easily been the most successful system to date seems utterly retarded to me.

Ideally, everyone should just co-exist and the guy picking up the garbage is the same as the guy who performs brain surgery or the guy who lays bricks for the house. Everyone could fulfill a role and would be equals. The problem is and always will be that we all know that the three positions and the requirements to perform the jobs aren't the same. For example, 90% of people on the planet could probably 'pick up garbage but only 5% might be able to perform brain surgery.

Capitalism has plenty of flaws, but the reason why capitalism works is the ability to have mobility in your personal career path, the ability to become a creator or a producer rather than just another cog in the wheel. Create your own business, create your own ideas, make your own way.


That doesn't work. When the economy goes down, there's too few opportunities and jobs out there and the entire expanse goes down too. This is why we had the Great Depression and the more recent market crash. It scares the entire herd because they know it effects them too. 

What doesn't work?   What I described above was essentially communism. Where we would be without classes and society would be based on need.  The problem is, humans aren't robots and every role and career path is different.  In robots, this is a very efficient and logical form of operation though.  I know it doesn't work as I mentioned in my comment.   My point was, that while capitalism has it's flaws it has proven to be one of the best ways to allow someone to control their destiny and ultimately better their life if the desire and determination are there.

 In your case,  why are you working in various jobs in a variety of fields?  Do you have an education?  Why not pursue something you truly love and enjoy and then simply not care about money?  Why does other people's desires have an effect on your personal happiness?   

You seem like you need to be medicated because you've got a supreme case of depression.  You literally don't **like** the world.  Either work to change it, or stop complaining and get medication for the depression.  

You know nothing about depression and like talking out of your ass, huh?
