Life is suffering under all systems. Overcoming that suffering is enlightenment.
>capitalism
>capital- (means of exchange)
>-ism (belief in)
>belief in a means of exchange
How can someone say they are NOT a capitalist? That's like saying you win sports or card games without scoring them.
Well i am struggling to be enlightened negro
That feeling of needing to be productive is your inner monologue as a man telling you to accomplish something.
>How can it be improved?
It can't. Burn it to the ground.
Same with any other system. It's all utopian pie in the sky theory bullshit until reality hits. Capitalism is definitely no exception.
who are you under
Because the human soul is more than just profit margins.
>shitty in reality
Speak for yourself peasant
>me apartment in grey forest! me wealthy!
lol, you don’t even own the space you live on
pathetic
t. brainwashed npc
>Playing dumb
Are we actually stooping this low these days?
So all the 3rd world countries are suffering from a lack of masculinity?
Im upper middle class, material goods mean nothing
what you mean by capitalism is everything you don't like, and unless the people you're speaking to also reflexively understand capitalism to be the devil you'll just treat them as subhumans beneath you who are too stupid to be part of your tribe
I understand capitalism to mean that people own their own property rather than the state and use/trade that property with others at their own discretion
I do not understand capitalism to mean hating poor people and starving children and hoping bums die on the streets - am I a bigot?
Because of Jews
Even socialism could work without jews
For me the nagging feeling is that I should do something about the corrupt pedo ring that runs our country.
Because even if you were to create your socialist utopia there would still exist a black market operating under "capitalist" principles.
Because people don't think about absolute wealth.
You are only comparing your wealth to your neighbor's wealth, and if you are lazy shitbag, you may feel really dispirited. Especially if your neighbor is a low iq manlet who likes to work real hard.
My father is a low iq manlet who works hard
Because Capitalism reduces all value and meaning to purely economic terms. Just as man cannot live on bread alone he cannot live without the values that and systems of meaning making that Capitalism not only rejects, but erases.
All economic systems are shit, just focus on technology to ease the burder of working and eventually work won't be needed to survive.
envy is ridiculous
what a pointless and empty feeling
Socialists can't capitalism.
One is a political ideology and the other is biological nature.
Who the fuck told you it was good on paper? It's an obvious ponzi scheme even on paper.
>"I should do something" is a problem
lol
>can i really comprehend peace when i am afraid to stop running
>It's an obvious ponzi scheme
what is
Half the shit capitalism creates is worthless bs
God hates competition
Baka.
Life under capitalism was never "good". Life under capitalism was just the only one that is realistic.
Get you head out of you ass and maybe you can see the truth.
>Why is life under capitalism good on paper but shitty in reality?
because you are poor
>>How can it be improved?
stop being poor
Rich people need consumers and laborers like me. How is everyone supppose to be rich
Worthless. But what is worth? Maybe it's worthless to you, but it has worth to someone if they want to buy it.
>Rich people need consumers and laborers like me.
Yes.
>>How is everyone supppose to be rich
they are not. that would never work.
All is vanity
And by your logic under capitalism poor people will always be miserable and thats ok. What an optimistic outlook.
except what you do of course
whatever you like is sacred and everyone should do what you like
fuck you bourgoise pric
Im more concerned about the bigger picture, not temporary rewards
Well, there you have it. Capitalism is about offering you shit you want to buy. You clearly want som shit that isn’t sold. So go get it, you fucking moron.
yeah I'm sure you have a cartoon in mind
>productivity with no goal
that's an oxymoron
>And by your logic under capitalism poor people will always be miserable and thats ok.
Yes.
>What an optimistic outlook.
it is if you're not poor.
Life is good in a free market system if you follow American values such as independence, self-reliance, hard work, getting a good education, having traditional family values, etc. It's shitty if you get into drugs, have mental illness, etc.
nah. it aint. for example how you are supposed to sit in an office 8 hours even if you finish your work on 3. Many such cases.
Yes
Fuck off you Freemason trash. Back to ur cavern of rape you demon
>it's an OP blames all his problems on capitalism episode
Capitalism is utilitarianism. Understand anglos and you will understand that capitalism is a materialistic and utterly baseless and ultimately meaningless ideology aimed at removing God from people's hearts.
No one is forcing you to buy it. Stop caring about what other people like or don't like
that's not an example
Any system can prevail if it doesn't have niggers, spics, kikes, sand-niggers, or gooks
>Capitalism is utilitarianism
how
>capitalism is a materialistic and utterly baseless and ultimately meaningless ideology aimed at removing God from people's hearts
PLEASE define capitalism
see pic You don't know what you're talking about
Op is fucked in the head.
Life is what you make of it.
Capitalism doesn't "DO" anything for you except give the opportunity to rise by dint of your own efforts.
Command and control societies don't allow for social mobility.
In America, 78 percent of all millionaires are self made. (i.e. they didn't inherit their money)
>I do not understand capitalism to mean hating poor people and starving children and hoping bums die on the streets
Well, you should, since the inevitable consequence of the first dynamic is going to be the second dynamic, lacking any profit incentive to prevent it, which apparently there's not. Because all that shit's happening. And if you don't think that defending capitalism entails "hating poor people and starving children and hoping bums die on the street", then just stick around and read a few threads where someone challenges capitalism, and watch how quickly start advocating exactly those things, verbatim. Watch the rabid, fulminant, incandescent fucking hatred that bursts out toward poor people, starving children, and homeless bums. The conversation turns to gas chambers and eugenics really fucking quick. And it goes down that lane hundreds of times, in hundreds of threads, every single day here.
The amount of vitriol this board will collectively unleash on any person less fortunate than themselves, anyone they perceive as an inferior, who needs help, is frankly psychotic. To feel so much more rage at the prospect of a thousand impoverished families getting $10000 a year in food stamps than they seem to at the prospect of a handful of MIC companies getting billions of dollars in tax subsidies is legitimately fucking crazy.
From what I've seen, all of the left's arguments are comprised by the phrase "You aren't living your life correctly!"
How about you let people choose what they want? No one's stopping you from moving to a communist country you know.
h
The system is inherently hcompetitive so I have to compete with these retarded lifestyles
Nice filename you reddit nigger
>Well, you should, since the inevitable consequence of the first dynamic is going to be the second dynamic, lacking any profit incentive to prevent it, which apparently there's not
I like free markets and private property ownership because I think they serve the least among us the best
do you think I'm missing something in my understanding of capitalism that I should believe that the least among us are served best not by mafia groups of state agents violently seizing people's property and commanding them around, but by people voluntarily and mutually cooperating to serve their own interests by serving the interests of others in the marketplace?
