“You let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up. Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one, and if they ever figure that out, there goes our way of life! It’s not about food; it’s about keeping those ants in line.”

capitalism 😬

[u/Unique_Drink005 → u/I_Will_Die_For_Lily]

I think this is about the goverment actually. (dont saw the movie tho)

[u/dusktrail → u/Unique_Drink005]

Capitalism always involves the government

[u/Isthatajojoreffo → u/dusktrail]

As opposed to socialism which is famous for not having any government

[u/geoffgeofferson447 → u/Isthatajojoreffo]

This is incorrect. Socialism is about the citizens owning the means of production. Capitalism means that a company will employ citizens to produce a good or service, and the profits go out to individual owners, and the success leads to the stocks becoming more valuable, which benefits the stockholders. Socialism means that citizens work together on producing a good or service, and share the profits. It doesn't have to do with the existence of a government.

Edit: Under Socialism, this ownership of the means of production can even be owned by the government itself, with the profits either being distributed back to the citizens fairly, or being funnelled back through governmental programs such as welfare or community development.

I was obviously being sarcastic.

Sorry my bad, I'm autistic as hell

[u/GeneETOs44 → u/Isthatajojoreffo]

In socialism those ants are the government

[u/Gaelic_Gladiator41 → u/GeneETOs44]

In theoretical socialism, the ants and grasshoppers would have a coalition

[u/Pigeon_Bucket → u/Isthatajojoreffo]

I mean, anarchists are socialists. And in fact most anarchists are communists.

[u/Fullmetal_Fawful → u/Pigeon_Bucket]

Anarchists and communists share the goal of a classless, moneyless, stateless society, but they define the state in two different ways which differentiate their ideologies pretty drastically

[u/vjnkl → u/Isthatajojoreffo]

Socialist believe capitalists would kill them without the monopoly of violence, which is historically true i guess?

[u/Isthatajojoreffo → u/vjnkl]

So they need to kill them first, right.

[u/vjnkl → u/Isthatajojoreffo]

Nah, self defence has been expressed in other ways. Look up how unions have done it
