Hi all,

I’m seeing a lot of hate for capitalism here, and I’m wondering why that is and what the rationale behind it is. I’m pretty pro-capitalism myself, so I want to see the logic on the other side of the fence.

If this isn’t the right forum for a political/economic discussion-- I’m happy to take this somewhere else.

Cheers!

    Laziness does not exist. It was a “sin” invented by slaveholding societies under what we call today “the protestant work ethic”. Capitalism and socialism are incompatible systems. Socialism is the economic means of production being owned by the workers. Capitalism is the economic means of production being privately owned by individuals. I don’t mean to be rude, but this is a very uninformed take.
