Re: Anti-capitalists

I don't agree with that at all, from a theoretical point of view. The whole basic principle of capitalism is that you have exchanges that are mutually beneficial, where each person improves their utility, and it's something that exists both in theory and in practice. I think that a system of capital and investment is a reasonably good system for allocating capital to its best advantage, and that's something that makes the economy work better for everyone, leads to more plenty for everyone. And I think that, in reality, for all of capitalism's many flaws, it has led to vast improvements for the world that were to everyone's advantage. So it's both a macro and a micro scale thing.

I agree that it is and has been exploitative, and that workers have rarely gotten in practice a return on their labor equal to their contribution, and that it has had a million other malign effects in its existing implementation. But I don't think that's necessarily intrinsic to a capitalist market system in theory. I definitely don't think it's a theoretical foundation of the ideology.
