Don't we live in a capitalist world?
- ikekkdcjkfke 2y agoConsumerism is overrated, but we all want it because neighbour has nice thing
- tcfhgj 2y agoWhat does it matter?
- XCSme 2y agoPeople need to constantly buy stuff for the economy to keep growing, this is how the economy is designed.
- tcfhgj 2y agoAt some point we have to deal with the limits to growth, indeed. The economy should serve the people, not the way around.
- XCSme 2y agoThis goes against the idea of capitalism. It expects infinite growth. If growth stops, we need a different economic model.
- anticensor 2y agoWhich is fine, no economic system lasted forever, and capitalism is not expected to last forever either.
