Capitalism in Anti- Human

Capitalism is Anti- Human

In the corporate balance sheets of profitability, there is no room for people who cannot produce more than a certain amount of wealth and value.  These people are thrown away. 

It is only the vestiges of human centered legislation from the 1930's that saves those people today from the horror of homelessness and living on the street.

And still, around 40,000 people live right on the streets and sidewalks of Los Angeles.  There is no place for those people in the USA American economy.  They have been "thrown away."  Almost nobody even cares.


At the heart of the philosophy, Capitalism is Anti- Human.


There is only one variable that is analyzed to evaluate the results of business decisions: Profit


In the past is was tacitly assumed that "what was good for business was good for society" and therefore good for people in general.  This may have been true at one time, but today in the "advanced designer chemical infused cybernetic marketplace of the internet" this tautology no longer holds true.  For today: global warming, environmental degradation, overpopulation, illness epidemics, pollution contamination and more are all the result of seeming careless business decisions of the past. We can no longer assume that profitability is an appropriate guide to success, suitability or "the common good."


There can be only one priority in any organization,  There is only one primary objective.  If the primary objective is to make the greatest profit possible, then there is almost no concern for the people involved.

Capitalism is fundamentally Anti- Human.     

Welcome to the future.  Welcome to reality.  You have no intrinsic value.
