The fact that billionaires exist is an extremely important example of the inherent hierarchal structure of capitalism. You can’t genuinely believe that ONE person can work 600x harder than their employees, it’s physically impossible, yet we see it as normal. They aren’t working 600x harder, they’ve simply been exploiting people to get on top, and using the state as a tool to keep their position and crush any opposition.
When unions and protests are frowned upon, it’s no wonder that workers don’t get their fair share. People all around the world fight back. They’re just killed or thrown in jail. The struggle is there, we’ve just been brainwashed to think it’s wrong.
The idea that the state and ruling class shouldn’t be coercively dictating people’s everyday lives to fit their interests isn’t nearly as radical as you’ve been told it is.
Ur right….but it’s not capitalism that caused it…..
#corporatism every time folks
so developed capitalism? 😂
In my opinion, nah. Used to think communism was the way in middle school but now a days I love good old fashioned capitalism. Sure it’s not perfect, but it beats the alternative.
The problem here isn’t who works more, it’s who was willi to risk more.
Let’s give a good example here. Little mom and pop shop just opens up, and the owner looks to his wife and decided to put up another mortgage on the house to go for broke and make another store, hire a manager, and hopefully make more revenue in return, and by god it works. He keeps trying more and more building the empire and eventually makes a chain of stores.
Now then, would it be fair if you just stripped him of all of that. Just took all of his hard work all of his effort away and just have half to the manager he hired? Make it worse split it into 4s for the other managers in the other stores?
Now let’s get even grittier into this “if everyone was on equal playing fields with money he wouldn’t need to risk it!”
He wouldn’t have a reason to work either.
as much as I value compassion and I wish we would all just be a little nicer to eachother, I can’t deny that people get lazy. Why the hell would I go work my fucking ass off in a mine toiling away risking my life if I’m just gonna get paid the same amount as a shop clerk?
