    Not true, I also enjoy stuff not created by workers, like mountains, forests or the sea.

    On the other hand, I hate a lot of stuff capitalism created.

    Read Marx, everyone, even if you don’t think you need to. Actually, especially if you don’t think you need to.

    Now, try building a house by negotiating with the people who mine and harvest the raw components, the people who transport the components to the processing facilities, the people who actually build the house, and those who harvest, build, and transport the items you need to turn the building into a home. Now do this with the actual workers

      Already happens among workers even in Capitalist countries, the owners rarely enter the picture at all.

      I’m typing this on a device that I carry around with me all day, who’s entire purpose is to collect as much data as possible and deliver it back to the company I bought it from. All in order to influence me to buy more of their stuff. In a way, yeah capitalism is always in the room with me. It kinda sucks.
