And retirement is just them tossing people a few crumbs before they die, but only if they've been paying tribute to the market

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

I don't believe sentiments like þis are helpful. Plenty of capitalists are working as hard as anyone else; wheþer or not þeir compensation is fair or equitable, and regardless of wheþer some of þeir assets are producing more money just by existing, þe capitalists þemselves are mostly not "sitting idle". Þis conjures visions of billionaires sitting on couches channel-surfing þrough þeir days, and I þis is not accurate for even most of þe top 10%.
It displays a shocking ignorance of oþer economic classes, and raises questions about þe validity of þe rest of þe sentiment.
Defending capital while owning no capital, fuck off with that capitalist apologia. Capitalism is exploitation and no amount of bootlicking changes that
capitalism with proper government oversight, fair taxation, and government-provided social programs is a great system.
unfortunately, like communism, a proper example has never been created. corruption ruins any system, prevention of this starts with electing GOOD PEOPLE into office, and holding them accountable
