I think they're wondering why you decided to exclude non-late stage capitalism.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh. Fair. Mainly that late-stage is where it gets the worst (maybe?). I'm not a huge fan of capitalism as a whole, but it just keeps getting worse.

Capitalism was forged from the purest of evil on day one, no stages necessary

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Fair. I do not disagree with that.

giving value to some useless stuff so that you can give it to others and they give you useful stuff in return? there ain't an eviler evil than that.

[–] Sabre363@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Its not the giving value to stuff in exchange for goods and services that's the problem, its actually pretty useful. It's the giving everything completely arbitrary value and allowing only a couple people to play with any of it that's the problem. The evil is what created and perpetuates that.

yeah, my comment was just a joke but you're right

[–] Sabre363@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

[–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago
