I’m new to this platform and can’t tell if I already replied to this or not.

I totally understand and agree with your point. In case I already replied to this I’ll just give my short answer.

If I could snap my finger and magically make a perfect capitalist system (or socialist for that matter) no corruption or greed. Starting absolutely fresh and right with the perfect principles in place for the system… And also all of us people started fresh, well rested, well fed, thinking clearly…

I think people would still buy the cheapest chocolate and ignore the slaves, they’d still shop at Walmart, and I’d still book the cheap airline ticket and complain I have no leg room, and a handful of super rich elites would quickly regain literally all the power.

You absolutely nailed it on the head with everything thing you said, that’s exactly why I don’t call out system true capitalism. I also agree the lives we are forced to live prevent us from having time to sort this stuff out.

I just don’t think we’d be less lazy (myself included) even if we did have the time and energy. I feel the same problem in both systems.

1)good idea

2. revaluation

3. get lazy

4. back to essentially where we started.
