You haven't lived in the USSR or in the Eastern Bloc, have you? So far, there wasn't a way of living invented where there were no abused and/or abusers.

- CathedralBorrow 6y agoHow can you argue against the statement "capitalism incentivizes abuse" by talking about communism? Note that I don't disagree with your notion that abuse is abundant in all human societies.
- pmlnr 6y agoNo traces of capitalism there, yet abuse was deeply engraved. Conclusion: abuse has nothing to do with the type/philosophy of the market.
- CathedralBorrow 6y agoThat makes sense if the original statement was that capitalism is the only thing that can ever incentivize abuse. If you assume that abuse can be caused or influenced by more than one thing -- which I believe makes sense but you might disagree -- then it doesn't matter what communism was doing if we're talking about capitalism.
