RE: A critique on modern ideologies (Communism/Socialism/Capitalism)

in #philosophy6 years ago

Capitalism (as a principle) emerged as a dynamic long before humans had speech...

In capitalism, people organize themselves around the trade of goods and services. The competition generates a situation in which you can only work in a profitable economic activity, if it is not profitable, you cannot work on it. Assuming that today there could be a free market capitalism, which is not the case, competition and the division of labor would not leave much room for maneuver, people should be organized automatically in a way that generates greater economic profitability, so that both the individual and society would be working to obtain economic profitability, so it follows that the individual puts his will at the disposal of money.

Submit implies some form of slavery...but this is incorrect .
It is a free will contract.

Yes, that's the main reason why capitalism is much more efficient than socialism and communism when it comes to producing, people act voluntarily, but they must understand that people only act voluntarily because they want to make money, I'm sure that many current professions would not exist if people were not willing to do all kinds of activities for money.

In fact, this search for money is what makes capitalism work, Ludwig von Mises explained it, he said that communism and socialism would fail because there was no money in those systems, and without money, and without the need for companies to obtain profitability, the economic calculation would not be possible, which causes the socialist and communist system to fail.

Look at this, unemployment insurance allows people not to accept jobs they consider unworthy, someone with unemployment insurance would not accept a job they don't like, which is why people who criticize the subsidies are opposed to this type of practice, because it is shown by the data that people do not perform jobs that they consider unworthy unless they are very needy. In the purest capitalism, the subsidy does not exist, so you must accept any type of work, even so, people could refuse to perform a certain type of activity, since they can suppose something immoral for them, which is why I say that the most efficient capitalism needs to eliminate any kind of morality, so that people are willing to do the job demanded by market forces without any objection. Consequently, for the purest capitalism human morality is just as harmful as a state law, so it will seek to suppress it, and turn it into someone who pursues material and not moral objectives, which in any case is summarized in money.

I don't mean by this that the free market or capitalism is something negative, the problem is not the free market, the problem is to adopt this system as an ideology or supreme value, and not as an instrument to reach a higher moral objective than the simple production of goods and services.

Greetings, and thanks for your observation!
