    Whenever anyone tells me that capitalism leads to efficient solutions or some such BS, I point them to things like this.

      Come on. You realise things aren’t all bad or all good right?

      Yes it’s true that capitalism hasn’t worked out, but it’s not true that capitalism has no beneficial qualities whatsoever.

          I don’t really understand. Perhaps you’re looking for a net benefit. As I said, things aren’t all bad or all good.

          As you said yourself, Capitalism is very efficient.

          It’s technological or administrative requirements are minimal. If you want to get from a pre-industrial feudal society to a sophisticated modern utopia, you can’t go straight to socialism. We needed capitalism.

        What? Capitalism has no intentional benefits that aren’t personal.

        Every single feature benefits specific people instead of… Everybody.

        Are you high?
