It does. The essential feature of capitalism is the motive to make a "profit". I'm explicitly saying capitalism is focused on "profit". Since you brought up communism, it has a different ideology which is not centered on "profit".
Does that make sense?
PS: Also I do not intend to debate capitalism vs. communism, I'm trying to convey the idea of "a society driven by profit".
- cowl 4y agoAnd my point was that "profit" is not the culprit here, and that is why I took communism as example. People will do questionable or illegal things for variuos selfish reasons. Profit being just one of them, but the people that would do those things for profit would do the same things for other non so tangible advancement of the self ego. So the problem is not that the society is driven by profit but because there is a conflict of self vs society.
