Unless you’re one of the billions capitalism has decided it’s more profitable to slaughter, starve or plunge into a lifetime of poverty making t shirts and truck tires. Then you don’t get to enjoy shit.

One small problem, we don’t actually have one of those
Yet I am to believe that Elon Musk deserves to be alive by a factor of several million times more than the people who grow my food?

142·1 day agoI mean you’re right that it’s not disputed among leftists, but that’s because it’s generally not contended among leftists. The US maintains a military occupation and economic domination of the south, while the same is not true of China and the north. This seems like another one of those “whatever bad thing we’re doing, China must be doing worse because they’re the bad guys” pieces of folk wisdom that can’t be substantiated. Which I’m not laying at your feet, to be clear, because I used to be a “communism no iphone 100 morbillion dead” person and I know how pervasive these cliches are.

Quick look at your profile and I see you are having several simultaneous bad-faith arguments on multiple threads. I feel stupid for falling for it. Will block and move on.
“Bad faith is when someone refutes the dumbass capitlalist premises that have brought us to fascism, anyway I will be running away now, making me the victor.”

Everything? Like everything?
Everything that concerns the production, distribution and allocation of goods and services
Damn, sorry to hear about your reading troubles, prayers up🙏
I wasn’t accusing you directly,
No, you were just doing it indirectly
The point being that it is easy to just paint “capitalist” on everything
Everything that concerns the production, distribution and allocation of goods and services, yes. Because it’s the nature of capitalism that it must paint itself onto everything, commodity everything, continuously expand into new “markets”, no matter how depraved. Take it up with the economic system that causes this process, not the people pointing it out.
Neither the meme itself or the article it is referring, mention financial gain as the motivator.
Do you think this hypothetical corpse-breeding industry would somehow not be, you know, an industry? Do you think it would somehow be immune to the all-consuming profit motive that’s strangling every other part of life for most of the human race right now? Of course it would be commodified!
“I can totally answer but I don’t wanna, you’re wrong tho”
Damn I bet your girlfriend who goes to another school is really impressed right now
Dawg at this point you’re just saying words.
This OP doesn’t have the same pointy capitalist part.
What does this even mean?
Love to be accused of being blind by someone who speaks in vague cliches and can’t even make a coherent point
What, you think “ethics” is something that exists independently of the social order that creates it? It’s capitalist ethics, just like marrying your daughter to some nobleman twice her age in exchange for some cows was feudal ethics.
Instigating violence is when you point out history instead of having costume parties outside of ICE concentration camps👍
Woah dude don’t doxx yourself
