Communism?

Communism is monopoly capitalism. Founded by the Fabian socialists and funded by the Vanderbilts and the Robber Barrons of the latter 1800s, and propagated through the London School of Economics. Marx wrote the bait and switch sales pitch. It’s never failed, because it was never designed to work for anyone but the banking oligarchs.

We need to do more about monopolies for sure.

@Fukfacewillie I was thinking that today and could explain in detail. Shame that the majority of the people who claim to hate capitalism insist on buying the most expensive artificially inflated price branded goods with everything they own which is the biggest contributor to monopolisation.

@lynncelestial Do you mean luxury brands fetishized by the underclass?

lynncelestial · 31-35, F

@Fukfacewillie Very much so. But then everyone plays along with it. The middle class need their expensive iphones, clothes etc the small to mid scale businesses only trade with the big brands, making it impossible for small producers to compete and making everything more expensive for everyone.

@lynncelestial I think Gucci is very much a "rich man poor man" thing but everyone is materialistic, I agree.

@Fukfacewillie I believe materialism is fine if people adopt a more delayed gratification approach to pleasure, and if these materials are used to bolster more important things beyond the purely physical.
