RE: Capitalism, Necessity, and Stigma

in #capitalism7 years ago

In today's world which entirely dominated by capitalism, one must escape this cycle of following blindly others and stay in line to become another slave of this evil system, poor is becoming poorer with every passing day and all the wealth of the world is revolving around only 1% of the world population, everyone needs to think out of the box @princepuffin

@jzeek, I agree that escaping the cycle is the goal. In the meantime though, you could consider work as a kind of dharma. In the end you want to get away from it, but while you're in it you should show compassion for others and yourself.

I agree with you. The problem with that idea in practice is that most people don't have the luxury of sitting around wondering about how to innovate the economy. They are dead tired from working so hard. Under Maslow's hierarchy of needs, they are barely satisfying the safety needs. I believe this is a planned feature of capitalism. Keep people desperate and exhausted, and they won't even notice how badly they are being exploited, let alone plan to counter that exploitation.
