Lol you’ve just described capitalists.
- krona 6y agoI think acquiring and consuming resources amorally predates capitalism by a few billion years.
- sudosysgen 6y agoIndeed it does, doing it in a system that allows the economic elite to direct the government into geopolitical disaster because they are largely unconcerned with the common good of their nation is really quite unique to capitalism.
- Proziam 6y agoActually, he just described people. Communist regimes have the exact same issues with corruption and greed. Capitalism vs Communism is a useless debate if the will isn't there to hold the corrupt accountable and ensure that the average citizen is empowered (with said power secured both physically and legally.)
