Capitalism is Slavery

"Even a woman is good and so is a slave, although it may be said that a woman is an inferior thing and a slave beneath consideration."

-Aristotle

Capitalism is Slavery

I used to think that the key to freedom was private property and capitalism was the economic system that fell in-line with that idea. But, capitalism must maintain a class of owners and a class of the owned, or workers. The class of owners are not workers, they can use workers like a resource, and they do.

The foundation of "civilization" was, and is, slavery. It was present in the first civilizations and is even condoned and endorsed by the Bible, the most widely accepted religious text... The society in which we live is widely considered a "free society," and private property is the foundation of that "freedom."

In order for this system to be maintained there must be an owning, or ruling, class. And, conversely, there must be an owned, working, or slave class. Why would a slave owner want to own slaves when it is far cheaper and more economical for a slave owner to allow his slaves to believe they are "freemen" who must "make their own way" inside of his system?

The only thing that has substantially changed throughout history in the social structure is that now the slaves think they are free. Most cannot see the chains holding them in bondage, or feel the whip cracking on their back, so they experience an illusory state of "freedom." So much do they hold this idea, that they will fight to maintain the system that enslaves them.

Even the most aware and "awake" individuals seem to still be clinging intellectually to the system that enslaves them, not looking deeply enough to see that they are supporting that system with idealistic hubris.

In closing, capitalism is based on property and ownership, which invariably lead to slavery. Whether "voluntary" or involuntary, the capitalist system cannot exist without a class of rulers and a class of the ruled.

Stop clinging to what your culture tells you is the only way. There is no "one right way" for all people to live. And any idea that maintains that it's the only way is definitely going to be tyrannical to those upon whom it is imposed.

Do you really believe that? You should come to Ireland. Our judges work twenty hours a week, get 120 euros per hour and have recently refused to take a paycut. Meanwhile the government is going to cut social welfare.

One law for the rich and one for the poor.

A pure democracy is not a good notion, we need a republic. Pure democracies enforce the majority's opinion to the minority.

@cinde4322 What socialist society are you refering to? The only nation that are socialist are nations who claim socialism for its postive moral associations to legitimize a totalitarian one party dictatorship. The total opposite of socialism. In fact, everytime is has been attempted capitalist central bankers funded a deliberate civil war factioning and "mysteriously" the statists won everytime. Lenin and Trotsky have ample financial ties to JP Morgan, Melon and the central bank.

@videomakerman1232 Socialism is forced by whom? Socialism is democracy in the purest sense. Your understanding of political theory is the product of deliberate mind control by your government.

[ped200014]

Thank god people are waking up to the capitalist propaganda and re-realizing and deprograming the illusion. Such a perversion of free trade is criminal.

@cinde4322

Exactly where did history prove this? Your example, please?

I don't even need history to prove the bankruptcy of capitalism.

Answer me one question. Where do property rights come from? What gives you the right to claim part of the Earth and exclude others from it with force, depriving them of the resources?

[SSTTEEAALLTTHH]

If you hadn't said you don't endorse any system, I'd have figured you a classical (left) anarchist (anarcho-communist, anarcho-syndicalist or libertarian socialist etc.).

[Trimbler00]

Aristotle supports slavery so fail.

@BrettDunbar Instead of calling people names and engaging in fallacious "arguments" perhaps you should read. May a suggest starting with the concept of wage slavery?

[60SecondAssassin1]

@cinde4322 Socialism is stateless, so I don't see how history has "proved this."

[videomakerman1232]

Socialism is slavery because it's forced.
