Why are folks so anti-capitalist?
Why are folks so anti-capitalist?
Hi all,
I'm seeing a lot of hate for capitalism here, and I'm wondering why that is and what the rationale behind it is. I'm pretty pro-capitalism myself, so I want to see the logic on the other side of the fence.
If this isn't the right forum for a political/economic discussion-- I'm happy to take this somewhere else.
Cheers!

Capitalism is inherently evil, you can only make money if you already have it
As the natives said, how can your way be better when those who have nothing give to those who have everything?
But the greedy in charge lie and say it's better, and they control ALL aspects of life because they have the money, news, police, etc.
Capitalism is slavery and is NOT in the constitution.
Capitalism isn't evil. It has no moral. It doesn't feel anything and doesn't care. There is only one golden rule "accumolate capital". That's it. It doesn't matter how. Abduct people to force them in to slavery. Sent kids in coalmines for 12 hours a day. Burn down villages. The logical end for capitalism is one person owning everything.
This isn't evil or greedy. It is just people playing by the rules of the system. People aren't bad people. It is the system that makes them act in evil or greedy ways. This is what capitalism wants us to act. This is how we are expacted to behave.
I think don't follow your logic. Can you point out where I'm going wrong?
Capitalism isn't evil -> Capitalism doesn't care -> Capitalism just wants us to accumulate capital -> Capitalism just wants us to commit evil acts to accumulate capital -> Capitalism isn't evil it just wants us to commit evil acts to accumulate capital -> We aren't evil because we act how capitalism wants to act, which itself isn't evil it just wants us to commit evil acts to accumulate capital
If people aren't evil, because it is capitalism making them do that evil; and yet capitalism isn't evil, because either it-being-causative-of-evil-acts isn't evil, or else because it only exists because of human choice; then from whence originates the evil? Given this, either nothing is evil, or else there is a choice to be not evil that humans are not taking which commutatively makes them evil, or else capitalism is evil.
In your view, what is the origin of evil in the system? And who has the say whether this evil exists or not?
As i said there is no morality in capitalism. There is no evil way to act in capitalism because the only right way to act in capitalism is tu accumulate capital there is no morality norm to classify actions as evil. Slavery in capitalism isn't evil, it is a logical way zo act under capitalism. When we classify an action under capitalism as evil we do it with morality norms from outside the system. When we use the category "evil" we put value in how we treat living beeings. A question that ist part of capitalism. That's why actions under capitalism aren't evil under the view of capitalism but can be seen as evil from a not capitalistic point of view.

Any system that does not inherently protect people is evil. It is a known fact that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Any system that does not intentionally address this issue is evil.
