Capitalism should be dismantled. Eroding the foundation is a good start, not an end goal.
How? If you don't have a replacement all you are doing is wasting everyone's time. Just calling it shitty isn't enough. How are people going to get food and shelter and live?
Socialism / communism. Have productive private property owned by all and not the few.
I hear you. I wish we had better examples than the USSR and China. We are a socialist society. However the controls got out of hand.
This is naivety in thinking capitalism gives people food and shelter. That is done through human hands laboring to create and then distribute those things.
Capitalism only restricts access based on the private property system of ownership then makes us of the working class compete against each other for the privilege of buying it back with imaginary tokens of value from those who have claimed private ownership over it and the means of producing it.
Other systems exist. You have the ability to educate yourself on them.
Then educate me. I have a degree in business and been through the system where it's never been discussed. Please tell me what else exists in the world that works.
Nice try framing the question with arbitrary qualifications to what you, personally, would consider a valid answer. Too bad I don't respect your authority to determine what is or isn't valid.
Ooooh, you have a degree in "business"? Please just announce for the whole class that you're biased as fuck to any answer I would give. (B/BS/M)BA's are such bullshit, nothing more than capitalist brainwashing, teaching people how to best maximize the profits of the owning class and uphold the interests of this exploitative system of economics.
You forget that societal systems don't exist until they are created. Capitalism used to never exist and, during its infancy, was argued extensively by the ruling class of the time that it didn't "work", yet now we live in a world where it feels inescapable. So, to your logic, I guess people back then never should have tried to create a new system in which to better their lives because that system wasn't one that "exists in the world that works".
Please, miss me with your simple minded bullshit.
Blah blah blah. Someone actually knows things when you try to discuss it and you sound like some washed undergrad that doesn't have any actual solutions rather than spite.
Nah. Business degrees are indeed bullshit.
Ok. You die on that hill. I'm convinced you started an argument you didn't know shit about.
I didn’t start shit. I’m just letting you know that your degree is basically all propaganda.
And again, learn to read. The usernames are different.
I don't read usernames. I read content and decide if there is anything that makes any sort of sense. Which this doesn't.
Sounds like a you problem.
Yup. I'm on the phone with your therapist about it.
