There is one major problem that plagues our society, and that is the problem of capitalism.

As far as the human being is concerned, capitalism is the greatest evil, in my humble opinion, ever devised by God.
Why?

It is the worst, most inhuman system in history, a system that is utterly immoral and destructive of the human soul and its natural desires.

It is a system that makes us slaves to our material possessions and our desires, and it does so in a most disgusting, dehumanizing way.

What is so despicable about capitalism?

The only way I can describe it is that it is a system that enslaves people, that steals from them, and that kills them. It is a system that creates poverty and destitution, and it destroys families, communities, and the health of its people.

The problem I have with capitalism

My issue with capitalism is that I believe in the principle of equal rights, but I do not believe that equal rights to life and liberty must come at the expense of other rights.

Capitalism is founded on the notion that individuals have rights, but it is not founded on the principle of equal rights.

In my view, capitalism creates inequality, because the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.

Capitalism is a system of inequality.

It was born from the belief that people need to be self-sufficient so they can be productive.

I am not saying that the poor do not have rights.

They do.

They have the right to be free from discrimination. They have the right to be free from exploitation.

If they work hard and they are productive, they can make a lot of money.

They have the right to have enough food to eat.

So-called "critiques of capitalism" will never make any semblance of a point, because you'll always come to see capitalism as some kind of a system imposed from above, as if it's a form of government. It's not. Capitalism is a convenient byword for a certain pattern of associations and behaviors inherent, in greater and lesser amounts, in historical societies. It would be just as productive to argue that the major problem plaguing the universe is electromagnetic force. But of course, just as capitalistic relations will continue no matter your protests, anti-capitalistic diatribes will continue no matter my protests. Really all I came here to say was
