I work hard because I want to retire in two years, not twenty.
Sweet, and because of capitalism you can do that.
I want to retire because I started out under the boot of surpressed wages because of the corruption incarnate in capitalism.
You mean because when you started, you couldn’t provide more than a small amount of value to your employer? It’s not anyone elses fault that nobody wanted to pay you more than you earned.
Someone like you with a cushy job (that sounds pretty ripe for being automated) has zero clue of the hardships inflicted on everyday working people. Maybe soon you will find out.
Ahhhh yes, you know so much about my work history because you’ve only heard about what I’ve done the last two years. I went to 5 years of school, earned 2 degrees, the hardest certification in the united states that took 18 months of studying, while working full time.
I worked hard then, so I can have a ‘cushy’ job now. Once again, at the heart of capitalism is that you’re worth what someone will pay you.
no way forward for the current system
Are you not the one that said that you ‘started out under the boot’ and now you do very well, and are self-employed? That you work so much harder than me (clearly a point of pride for you)?
That’s because of capitalism, homie. Under communism, you just work forever for an even lower wage than you earned when you were ‘under the boot,’ and if you wanted to earn more - that’s the thing! you couldn’t! you either get jailed or killed. Communism is fun!
Ya know, there are a few communist countries that you should try and go to work for, if you prefer that!
Maybe work on your reading comprehension and come back to me whenever you don’t find me advocating for cOmMuNisM.
Marxism put into a political system has always been a form of communism. If you aren’t arguing for that, why are you responding to a post and a comment about communism?
I was merely mocking your naive worship of a broken and failed system.
Because I acknowledge that capitalism isn’t perfect, but it’s by far the best political system that’s taken more out of poverty than any other economic system doesn’t mean I have naive worship. Also, it’s not a broken and failed system. You want to see a broken and failed system? See every single communist country that’s ever existed.
Maybe one day you will wake you up when they automate your very useful 1-2 hours a day position.
That won’t make me communist. And my field is one of the few that are still hiring at a good pace, most tech companies are in a stand still and laying people off. My field has been steady for the last 100 years at least.
Regardless, I’m selling my work for a fair rate, and that’s what capitalism is. If you are willingly working somewhere at an agreed upon price, thank capitalism.
