*Capitalism is how you enslave a man with his approval.*
Capitali$m is the worst socioeconomic system we've yet seen in [history](history.md),^[source](logic.md) based on pure greed, culture of slavery and artificially sustained conflict between everyone in society (so called [competition](competition.md)), abandoning all morals and putting money and profit (so called [capital](capital.md)) above everything else including preservation of life itself, capitalism fuels the worst in people and forces them to compete mand suffer for basic resources, even in a world where abundance of resources is already possible to achieve -- of course, capitalism is a purely [rightist](left_right.md) idea. Capitalism goes against [progress](progress.md) (see e.g. [antivirus paradox](antivirus_paradox.md)), [good technology](lrs.md) and freedom, it supports immense waste of resources, wars, abuse of people and animals, destruction of environment, decline of morals, deterioration of [art](art.md), invention of [bullshit](bullshit.md) (bullshit jobs, bullshit laws, ...), utilizing and perfecting methods of [torture](marketing.md), brainwashing, [censorship](censorship.md) and so on. In a sense capitalism can be seen as **slavery 2.0** or *universal slavery*, a more sophisticated form of slavery, one which denies the label by calling itself the polar opposite, "freedom", when in fact capitalism is merely a "freedom" to oppress others -- underlying every argument for capitalism is an argument against freedom itself; capitalism manipulates people into them approving and voluntarily partaking in their own enslavement (capitalist slaves are called wage slaves or *wagies*) -- this new form of slavery which enslaves everyone evolved because the old form with strictly separated classes of slaves and masters was becoming unsustainable, with the enslaved majority revolting, causing civil wars etc. This alone already seems to many like a good reason for [suicide](suicide.md), however wage and consumption slavery is still only a small part of capitalist dystopia -- capitalism brings on destruction basically to every part of civilization. It it also often likened to a [cancer](cancer.md) of society; one that is ever expanding, destroying everything with commercialism, materialism, waste and destruction, growing uncontrollably with the sole goal of just never stop an ever accelerating growth. Nevertheless, it's been truthfully stated that "it is now easier to imagine the end of all life than any substantial change in capitalism." Another famous quote is that "capitalism is the belief that the worst of men driven by the nastiest motives will somehow work for the benefit of everyone", which describes its principle quite well.

{ Some web bashing capitalism I just found: http://digdeeper.club/articles/capitalismcancer.xhtml, read only briefly, seems to contain some nice gems capturing the rape of people. ~drummyfish }
**Capitalism is fundamentally flawed and CANNOT be fixed** -- capitalists build on the idea that competition will drive society, that market will be self sustaining, however capitalism itself works for instating the rule of the winners who eliminate their competition, capitalism is self destabilizing, i.e. the driving force of capitalism is completely unsustainable and leads to catastrophic results as those who get ahead in working competition are also in advantage -- as it's said: money makes money, therefore money flow from the poor to the rich and create a huge imbalance in which competition has to be highly forced, eventually completely arbitrarily and in very harmful ways (invention of bullshit jobs, creating artificial needs and hugely complex state control and laws). It's as if we set up a race in which those who get ahead start to also go faster, and those become the ones who oversee and start to create the rules of the race -- expecting a sustained balance in such a race is just insanity. Society tries to "[fight](fight_culture.md)" this emerging imbalance with various laws and rules of market, but this effort is like trying to fight math itself -- the system is mathematically destined to be unstable, pretending we can win over laws of nature themselves is just pure madness. **Capitalism is practically equivalent to the terms [free market](free_market.md) and free trade** -- today's extreme, catastrophic form of capitalism is just sufficiently evolved free market, i.e. it is impossible to support free market without supporting what we see today as long as you believe there will ever be any progress in society; against beliefs of great many unintelligent individuals, it is for example impossible to be a true [anarchist](anarchism.md) as long as you believe in form of free market.

**Capitalism produces the [worst imaginable technology](capitalist_software.md)** and rewards people for [being cruel to each other](entrepreneur.md). It points the direction of society towards a [collapse](collapse.md) and may very likely be the [great filter](great_filter.md) of civilizations; in capitalism people [de-facto](de_facto.md) own nothing and become wholly dependent on corporations which exploit this fact to abuse them as much as possible. This is achieved by **[slowly boiling the frog](slowly_boiling_the_frog.md)** and **[leading the pig to the slaughterhouse](leading_the_pig_to_the_slaughterhouse.md)**. Capitalism further achieves enslavement of society while staying accepted by **deflecting responsibility** from the big picture to insignificant details: it says "Look, this politican fucked up your society! This one CEO of this corporation did it! This law here fucked your society! This one immigrant minority is responsible for it! Social media is to blame!" while in fact all of these are just symptomes of the underlying cancer of capitalism; it is relied on an average idiot's inability to see the big picture (society made mostly of idiots is achieved by indoctrination, propaganda and brainwashing that teaches one to only care about the immediate, himself and his daily food; big picture related concepts such as [ethics](ethics.md) and [morality](morality.md) are laughed at). No one owns anything, products become [services](saas.md) (your car won't drive without Internet connection and permission from its manufacturer), all independence and decentralization is lost in favor of a highly fragile and interdependent economy and infrastructure of services, each one controlled by the monopoly corporation. Then only a slight break in the chain is enough to bring the whole civilization down in a spectacular domino effect.

**The underlying issue of capitalism is [competition](competition.md)** and conflict -- competition is the root of all evil in any social system, however capitalism is the absolute glorification of competition, amplification of this evil to maximum. It is implemented by setting and supporting a very stupid idea that **everyone's primary and only goal is to be self-benefit**, i.e. maximization of capital. This is combined with the fact that the environment of [free market](free_market.md) is a an **[evolutionary system](evolution.md)** which through natural selection extremely effectively and quickly optimizes the organisms (corporations) for achieving this given goal, i.e. generating maximum profit, on the detriment of all other values such as wellbeing of people, sustainability or morality. In other words capitalism has never promised a good society, it literally only states that everyone should try to benefit oneself as much as possible, i.e. defines the [fitness function](fitness_function.md) purely as the ability to seize as many resources as possible, and then selects and rewards those who best implement this function, i.e. those we would call sociopaths or "dicks", and to those is given the power in society. Yes, this is how nature works, but it must NOT be how a technologically advanced civilization with unlimited power of destruction should work. In other words we simply get what we set to achieve: find entities that are best at making profit at any cost. The inevitable decline of society can not possibly be prevented by laws, any effort of trying to stop evolution by inventing artificial rules on the go is a battle against nature itself and is extremely naive, the immense power of the evolutionary system that's constantly at work to find ways to bypass or cancel laws in the way of profit and abuse of others will prevails just as life will always find its way to survive and thrive even in the worst conditions on Earth. Trying to stop corporations with laws is like trying to stop a train by throwing sticks in its path. The problem is not that "people are dicks", it is that we choose to put in place a system that rewards the dicks, a system that fuels the worst in people and smothers the best in them.
