RE: Are We Forced To Participate In Capitalism?

in #capitalism8 years ago

Ah so happy to see that you're on Steemit @danilo-cuellar. Thanks for following my page, and for this post! It is such a common position by communists and socialists that somehow capitalism is forced onto people. I always ask "forced by whom?" The answer is no one.

If you truly believe that you are being "forced" to buy them, then you must be implying that you believe you are entitled to receive them for free. If it costs resources and labor to produce a good or service, how can you be expected to receive it for free? This is not logically consistent.

Spot on! You're also spot on here:

You cannot expect or force other people to serve you without giving something in return. To do so would be the initiation of force and is the quintessence of slavery.

Thank you for all the effort you put into spreading the philosophy of liberty and voluntaryism! Cheers, :) <3
