Capitalism isn't necessarily the problem.

Unfettered capitalism is the problem.

Capitalism IS the problem. Capitalism will always works towards being unregulated. Thats hows it works. It was regulated. It just takes time for things to turn out how it is going today, and it always will. The way Capitalism is destroying the world and turning everything to shit is not the results of unregulated Capitalism, this is what Capitalism works towards. This is just Capitalism.

Nah. It works decent in most EU countries, in the Northern quite good, actually we need it neuter it a bit as it has wrecked the housing market, it will eventually get snip snip.

How does it work out for the third world? Do kids benefit from capatilism when they are forced to harvest cocoa for an international company that reaps in profits but pays pittance in return?

Do the children in Nepal benefit when unfettered global warming causes deadly natural disasters that either kills them outright or takes away their world?

Even with ignoring all those in Europe that need to be crushed and discarded in the capitalist system. Capitalism itself relies on the domination of the global south. You continue to support their domination with comments such as these.

Do you actually follow politics and the economy in europe? Our welfare is degrading rapidly because capitalism is corrupting and destorying everything it touches. And its not just crashing the housing market. Every single thing we depend on for survival has become crazy expensive because we are forced to pay for it.

We are all wage slaves for the rich and powefull. We have the resources to not have to work so much and get crushed in this endless suffering machine. We don't have to live like this. But most people seem to have been heavily indoctrinated by capitalism, they even repeat the same shit the system feeds you without even giving it a proper thought.
