  Capitalism is like any other vice.

  In moderation it’s fine, often even beneficial.

  But if it’s the sole focus you’re fucked. We’re not responsible cocaine users who want to stay up dancing every other weekend, we’re full blown crackheads on capitalism.

    Not at all when the bottom line replaces humanities interest the economy becomes a parasite to feed an endless endeavour at the sacrifice of everything around it.

      when the bottom line replaces humanities interest

      And there’s room for some capitalism before that point…

      Like, UBI with stores where you pay for goods is still capitalism to some degree, if capital is involved at all, that’s capitalism.

        The use of currency in an open market is not Capitalism. This conflation is propaganda used by Capitalists to further the “Capitalism is a Natural state” fairy tale.

  The more you think about it the more capitalism looks like a death cult.
