What people are actually advocating for is a more equal capitalism. A capitalism where the top 1% doesn't hold 50% of the wealth. A capitalism where people don't die because they made the mistake of getting sick and not being able to pay for the cure. A capitalism where everyone can get well-educated and a capitalism where we don't destroy the planet we live in. A capitalism where you don't get punished for being something you didn't choose to be. The phrase "capitalism made our lives better" is also only true for portion of the population. I bet the people who have to skip meals because they don't have money to buy them don't agree with that. Neither do the people who were forced into dictatorships because another country wanted cheap oil. I mean, it's great that the middle class in the United States has access to healthcare, education and comfort. What these people you criticize are trying to do is granting that for every human being. |
Except capitalism is by definition predatory. Speaking of a more equal capitalism is as saying, nazism should be more humane or when tigers catch smaller animals to eat them, they should do it in a nicer way... It's IMPOSSIBLE.
Capitalism is the problem. You can't tell an elite with a multi-billion dollars idea that he should carry out his idea in a more fair way that will benefit everyone cause that's not why he cares to carry out his idea, if he did it with a more humane and fair approach where everyone would benefit, even the lower class workers, first he'd make way less money as the product would cost more to be developed (by paying everyone fairly) and second that would be sharing and not capitalizing in other words it would be ideologically closer to communism than capitalism proper.
I personally advocate for the end of capitalism because on top of being inherently unfair and morally wrong it also is the tool that helps destroy the environment. But the truth is that humans are in my opinion incapable of creating a fair system where no one is left behind so in a way we deserve capitalism cause we are no better.
