Capitalism breaks your brain so badly that it makes you think income is natural.

@GlitterEater the one good thing about capitalism though is it has provided the highest standard of living in the world. I know people that are flat broke claim they don't have any money but still have air conditioning indoor plumbing and a flat screen TV and normally one or two vehicles. You go to other parts of the world they don't have indoor plumbing they don't have air conditioning they don't have TV and they've only seen one or two vehicles in their lifetime that were privately owned.

What kind of governments do those places have? You can’t tell me that those conditions are exclusive to communist countries. Fact is most governments all over the world are capitalist, rich countries and poor countries alike. I’m going to go out on a limb and conclude that having a capitalist economy does not automatically translate into a wealthy state.

@SkeetSkeet @SkeetSkeet There are no credible links to the idea that "capitalism breaks your brain" because it doesn't exist. Capitalism is a force of nature. It is a system of VOLUNTARY trade to mutual benefit. But if you'd like a credible link proving the value of capitalism and money, I can accommodate you. https://www.capitalismmagazine.com/2002/08/franciscos-money-speech/

“Until and unless you discover that money is the root of all good, you ask for your own destruction. When money ceases to be the tool by which men deal with one another, then men become the tools of men. Blood, whips, and guns–or dollars. Take your choice–there is no other–and your time is running out.”
