If we didn't have capitalism, people wouldn't need jobs. We could automate jobs away and instead of starving, people would just have more free time
theres countless mountains of actual work to be done that couldn't be automated.
Yeah, and we should focus all our time and effort on those problems instead of wasting time driving trains.
For now.
Some people enjoy driving trains.
Yes, that should still be allowed. But people shouldn't have to drive trains to live
Ok, name a system better than capitalism then
Reduced capitalism, increased socialism.
Some capitalism is okay. But unfettered capitalism is not. We have the latter.
Expanded comments to hate on people screaming communism aaaand...boom, logical answer. You ruined muh fun! Keep it up ^^
Was society MORE capitalistic 50 years ago or LESS?
Which society?
Why does 50 years ago matter?
It was definitely worse in virtually every way, nevertheless.
