 *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](culture.md) of [slavery](work.md) and artificially sustained conflict between everyone in society (so called [competition](competition.md)), abandoning all [morals](morality.md) and putting [money](money.md) and profit (so called [capital](capital.md)) above everything else including preservation of [life](life.md) itself, capitalism fuels the worst in [people](people.md) and forces them to compete and suffer for basic resources, even in a world where abundance of resources is already possible to be achieved -- 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](freedom.md), it supports immense waste of resources, [wars](war.md), 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, ...), utilization and perfection of torture methods, [brainwashing](brainwashing.md), [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](consumerism.md) slavery is still only a small part of capitalist [dystopia](dystopia.md) -- 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 stopping 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 principles 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 }
