I advocate for a cooperative economy. The best example of it working at scale in the modern world is the mondragon corporation in spain.
I think people are more than that. The point being that nothing is inherently wrong with making individualistic self serving choices except when there is disregard for others. But people can also be compassionate, alturistic, giving, and cooperative, so how about a system that rewards the better parts of human nature?
Capitalist markets are built off of the idea that people are inherently self serving and the ensuing competition will benefit people with lower prices, better products, etc to meet their own selfish needs. Capitalism uses capital to gain more capital, and is exploitative by design. When a company acts in a way to maximize profits, and appease shareholders, they’re doing it selfishly, with total disregard for others or the environment, in a system that rewards their actions. This is quite like psychotic, or sociopathic, behavior.
I just think trying to control this is a losing battle, and what we really need are foundational changes to values, motives, and what gets rewarded and how.
Death by unfortunately misinterpreted font. There are worse ways to go.
We bond over that shared trauma, then go kick rocks together to cope.
We’re all messed up because we’ve built a society that isolates and exploits us while rewarding psychotic behavior via corporations or people acting selfishly without regard for others
Now if only I could afford the van, I too could be homeless. Just like I’ve always wanted.
I imagine if they were properly communist, the US would have never allowed them to rise. There’d have been assassinations, coups, and purposeful destabilizations like we saw in south america.
Who paid for this floor?
Ahh its the third season. Just looked it up, episode 11 urban matrimony and the sandwich arts when Shirley is getting remarried and Britta comes through with the exceptional decor and flower arrangements. “This is who I aam”
