You put the capital in capitalism.
That cartoon is capitalism defined.
mm-hmm.
That's more like communist propaganda and justified criticism of the capitalist system becomes discredited and weakened by oversimplification of the issues.
Projekt---telling it like it is don't make it commie propaganda. Facts are facts---workers don't get paid for their labor. Anybody who's ever held down a job knows that shit is true.
Maybe you just didn't get it. It is in fact THAT simple.
Production is not shared. A few people control the means of production while using other people's labour to produce it. If things were run in a cooperative manner it would be better.
C'est facile mon ami.
projekt, you're german. brush up on your marx/durkheim/weber. :P
So, why doesn't the worker just emancipates himself and start his own one-man-business? Entrepreneurs do take risks when they start businesses and they do offer people who don't have the same drive work and payment, which they would not have without the entrepreneur. Sure, the world is not fair and not everybody gets paid what he deserves, but where would they be without someone giving them a job?
The idea of communism is a farce and if you want to see a system that does exploit people without caring for decent human working conditions go to China, cheap replaceable labor in masses. Communist systems exploit human labor worse than any capitalist system can. Criticizing the capitalist system is so pseudo-humanistic.
And what is it with this throwing around of foreign words?
Two words: democratic socialism.
Democratic socialists don't go around and make these gross overgeneralizations about capitalism. Why is it that everyone is complaining about capitalism, but has no problems with the constant violation of basic human rights in communist systems? If there is a system that is inhuman and unscrupulously exploits human resourses it's communism.
Perhaps. But we live in a state of unfettered capitalism in the US right now and people usually criticize communism. What you have in Germany and other countries in Europe is a balance. People mostly think in black and white when the middle is just right.
