  • Having been raised in a religious household and having escaped it later in life to become an engineer/science nerd, while being ostracized by my, incredibly, incredibly disappointing parents because they refuse to learn new things or acknowledge scientific studies that conflict with their religious views:

    This answer is unequivocally, absolutely, a 100% correct take on humanity and their need for the “simplistic” and incorrect answers religion gives about the world around them.

    This is the correct answer. Anyone that disagrees should go read the communist manifesto and come back to see if they still disagree.

    The issues are with his solutions. He correctly calls out all the issues with capitalism. Just nails them.

    But his ideas about how to solve it by abolishing land rights and the entire inheritance system is problematic, as the OP says.

    Not that it couldn’t work in a vacuum, but it’s not a realistic solution to our problem.

    A much more well considered approach of proposed solutions can be found in the book: Utopia for realists.






  • I presume, like everything else wrong with Capitalism, it comes down to cost. It’s more cost efficient somehow. I don’t understand the details, because I’m not a chicken farmer, but I have been in the capitalism machine for a long, long time, and I’d bet a shitton of tax payer money that it’s purely down to cost.

    If it saves $0.02 per chicken, they’ll gladly poison the rivers, oceans, lakes, etc. with refuse and baby chick corpses.
