Reply #40: But this is capitalism though; it's all about profit and exploitation [View All]

[Selatius]

Capitalism as a system simply cannot exist without inequality. That's the way it works. That's the way it always has worked. Somebody wins, and somebody loses and gets screwed. Somebody must lose according to the rules of the game so that a winner can emerge.

The best capitalists are the best able to trick as many people as possible into devoting their time and labor and lives to making as much money for the capitalist so that the capitalist can walk away with the largest share of the profits, while the workers get the left overs.

Why do you think we celebrate Wal-Mart as "the most admired company" yet speak nothing of the 45,000,000 in this country who are so poverty-stricken that they cannot even afford health care?

Oh, coincidently, it was Wal-Mart and the Justice Dept. that just settled an illegal immigration case out of court. No trial, no accountability. Just money passing between parties and secrets.
