I think about how much the planet is heating up because people like me are a little too lazy to be competent. I am glad my nieces and nephews get to pay our price we are raising every day on their behalf, to improve their world supposedly with our extra productivity, right?

I haven't done it yet. But for me it doesn't make sense to do it with a gun.

A good time to ask this question after it's used for good and we have politicians in office who aren't against the will of the people, not before

This is what early reddit was like honestly. I don't think lemmy will hit reddit's peak popularity but I don't think anyone wants any lemmy instance near that popular

I say we look to and learn from places like rojava before we look to those with gulags when we theorize political and economic systems.

I fundamentally disagree that capitalism is like every other system ever done before, that is all I am saying. I need evidence that capitalism being the same as every other system is true, and I lack it. This is part of why I posed my original question. Why are people seemingly not be able to fathom a single system that can replace capitalism?

a few people hold the capital

Capitalism does not enforce a minimum amount of population holding capital, so it can be reduced to 1. Feature, not a bug.

Capitalism is the same as every other system that’s gone before

Every other system? How many systems do you think we have observed in all of human history? What do you believe to be the earliest system ever devised?

No other system ever increased the minimum amount of people owning capital to be higher than a few?

in capitalism, there are zero limitations on property. Human slavery is labor capital in capitalism (private prisons, 13th amendment). You can own people and their labor in capitalism. By you, I mean you mr nougat, with enough capital, can own immigrants today to sell their indentured servitude right this very second in these united states of america and capitalism will not only let you do it, it will reward you with government protection in the form of profit, and the cops and guards and laws to protect YOUR humans.

Or are you saying thats not feasible within the framework of capitalism and I am just not getting it?

If you are not getting it, maybe you are too poor and lower class to realize how little capital you have in capitalism that you cannot fathom how much capital means power in a capitalist society, a society in which capital is authority.
