    Capitalism is like any other vice.

    In moderation it’s fine, often even beneficial.

    But if it’s the sole focus you’re fucked. We’re not responsible cocaine users who want to stay up dancing every other weekend, we’re full blown crackheads on capitalism.

      Nah, capitalism is like cancer. Theres no good amount to have, and eventually if left around it will spread and kill you.

      Not at all when the bottom line replaces humanities interest the economy becomes a parasite to feed an endless endeavour at the sacrifice of everything around it.

        And there’s room for some capitalism before that point…

        Like, UBI with stores where you pay for goods is still capitalism to some degree, if capital is involved at all, that’s capitalism.
