Capitalism is anti-human.
All the central values of Capitalism work to turn you into a predictable "working machine" with no relationships, or commitments, to disturb the efficiency of your work.
Capitalism is anti-human.
For example: The problem is that "on paper" the ideals of "fair competition" and "market forces" sounds good, BUT as an individual, you cannot compete with multi-national corporate power and wealth. You have few real rights except to do what you are told and shut up. For example, my career as a VFX artist was outsourced to India and China. There was nothing I could do when I watched my former employers open divisions overseas that did the work I used to do in the USA, Los Angeles. I was powerless to keep my job. I had no rights whatsoever to my work.

ReplyDeleteLife is difficult and long work hours erode quality of life. Oh well, stay healthy... Good Health is your one way to get back at the system -- you can outlive your competition, by eating healthy and avoiding risky behavior. For example -- Both Van Gough and Monet were penniless painters in their youth. Van Gough died penniless in his forties, but Monet lived to be almost ninety years old and died wealthy. Monet lived long enough to see his paintings gain value and recognition and Van Gough did not. Stay Healthy. "One gram of fiber for every one hundred calories"

We were all lulled into complacency by our grade school education that wrongly showed us that "There is a steady plan of benevolent guidance" and "There is a guaranteed place for you in America" Unfortunately THERE IS NO GUARANTEED PLACE FOR YOU in America and NOBODY CARES. Too bad, sucker...
