Description
No information
Round 1
capitalism is old feudalism which gives power to a few .Marx imagined the utopia but it have been never achieved and misused to exploit the system.
The basic idea of Capitalism is body autonomy, derived from the fact that the only possible moral system is the one where everyone gets to decide.
Round 2
Not everyone but majority. The free will of people is controlled by elites through media .liberty is fictional. True communism has never been achieved
Majority doesnt own individual. Majority doesnt determine the truth. Everyone, not just majority, is able to decide. Thus individual sovereignty.
Round 3
then why the minorities gets persecuted in democracies ? because there vote does not decide the outcome of elections. minority's voice fades away
That doesnt mean majority is right or that majority determines the truth. Either everyone can decide the truth either no one can.
Round 4
unfortunately that's not how current capitalist system works. the elite makes the majority votes by feeding them flawed information through media
Current system isnt Capitalism, as long as Capitalism includes body autonomy. Democracy and government dictatorship have nothing to do with Capitalism.
Round 5
USA is a shining example of capitalism. If u think that system is perfect and isn't manipulated by handful individual. U are living in delusion.
USA isnt Capitalist. Its democracy communism with government healthcare, government education and government control over society.
Yes, I just dont think we talk of same thing when we talk of Capitalism.
it's imaginable that how the democracies works and how the people are fooled in favour of interest of the ruling class. income inequality is at it's peak . is that all fair . I don't think so .
I m just saying that communism has never been achieved in it's true form as imagined by Karl Marx. Don't tell me that china , Vietnam, north Korea, Russia(former USSR) are communist states. they are just socialist dictatorships which are exploiting the poor brutally same as USA and Europe .Then u might have question then why living standards of the western world (capitalist ideology) are better than Asia and Africa where the communist ideologies are more relatable. My simple answer is imperialism . Asia and Africa have been exploited for hundreds of years for their resources . By exploitation the living standards of countries like china, India got worse. By using those resources the USA and western Europe feed their industries and got a head start in the race of prosperity but still the majority wealth is controlled by some crony capitalists.
