But the system itself is destroying our planet’s ecosystems because there’s nothing keeping it in check.
thats actually the problem. People keep trying to put the capitalistic system in check, when all that ever does is solidify those who already understand how to game the systems chances at staying at the top...
True free market capitalisms check and balance system is free trade. Sure monopolies will arise temporarily, and may have a negative impact, but as long as people have the ability to be innovate new and more efficient ways of doing things the system will check itself over time.
you mention that capitalism only works for first world countries... thats entirely false it benefits third world countries much more because it gives them an opportunity to recieve funding from sources other than their own failing governments. You only see problems when these countries enact rules that hinder free market capitalism such as in veneuzuela
NO. The oligarch class use governments as pawns in a grand chess match. Third world governments are not at fault for their situation in the capitalist system.
Capitalism (and communism) can only work if human consciousness evolves and the playing field is made even. Until then, these systems will always be played by oligarchs for their own benefit and to the Earth’s detriment.
It’s foolish to have any system that has no humanity at its core.
What happened to Veneuzuela is entirely the fault of Hugo Chavez's shit economic policies. PDVSA is literally the entire reason the countries economy is where tis at right now.
That in itself proves that capitalism doesn’t work. Because if any government can make choices that adversely affect future generations of people that had zero to do with those decisions and nobody in the international community recognizes the economic injustice and disparity, then innocent people are suffering unnecessarily.
It’s a broken, dysfunctional system that operates without conscience.
And an elite class are still benefitting.
Thats where you've been brainwashed by your own experience with government. What we have today is not capitalism, I don't even know if i would even call it crony capitalism at this point.
Just because your own government has its hands in every facet of your life does not mean that all government must do the same. A government that allows the economic sector to police itself can exist. While on the other hand there is no form of socialism that can exist without government imposed monopolies on force.
I’m brainwashed? By government? Oh puh-lease. You’ll have to do vastly better than that, my friend, or you’ll find yourself running around in circles.
Remember that to ‘assume’ makes an ass out of u and me.
Somnambulance is something I broke free of decades ago.
I agree with you that true capitalism doesn’t exist. It can’t ever exist.
Not without an evolution of consciousness.
Socialism doesn’t need government if human consciousness evolves (humans once servived and thrived on a sharing economy before the agricultural revolution and that didn’t require any system of government).
Until that consciousness evolution happens, both of those outdated systems are doomed to dysfunctionality.
Why? Because both of those systems were invented in a time when humans believed that the earth’s resources were infinite.
Ridiculously archaic economic systems.
In fact, they both contradict and are incapable of adhering to the actual meaning of the word economy - careful management of available resources.
The answer is getting rid of the monetary system altogether and downsizing government until it is made obsolete.
I’d recommend you to do some deeper research. Starting with the three systems I suggested earlier in this thread before you’re capable of discussing this further. That should take you a few months of full time study to get your head around. Then we can continue, as it will unravel the inculcation you’ve received about capitalism.
Until then, we’ll not likely get anywhere from further metaphorical tennis rallies.
please explain how a sharing economy is any different than a monetary system. Not in theory, in actual practice.
Ive actually spent half of my adult life in a "sharing economy" and I fail to see how its any different
Where are you getting this bullshit from? A simple analysis of your last statement proves this wrong entirely.
You state that before these systems existed humans existed in a sharing economy(which is not true in the slightest but for ill humor you for a minute)... yet the systems that evolved after the sharing economy are archaic and incompatible with the state of the world today.
this i can agree with
