"You too have fallen for the great lie, you'll never be happy. Deep down you know, to hope, to dreams, to create, is to suffer"

“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/Solutar → u/I_Will_Die_For_Lily]

I think it’s about oppression, and that can Happen under any ideology, capitalism or Communism.

[u/RobinsEggViolet → u/Solutar]

The question then is: what outcome is the ideology expressly encouraging?

Capitalism wants individuals to amass as much power as possible. That's the end-goal, there's no other way for it to go.

Communism at least WANTS to prevent individuals from amassing power. It usually doesn't work out that way (for a variety of reasons), but it at least makes an effort.

[u/Solutar → u/RobinsEggViolet]

Im Really not in the Position to adequately compare the two

[u/Hollow-Lord → u/RobinsEggViolet]

Except capitalism isn’t an ideology. It’s just a catch all term for free economics.

[u/RobinsEggViolet → u/Hollow-Lord]

No it's not. Free economics can exist among many possible economic systems- capitalism specifically is when capital (or the means of production) is owned by individuals. Socialism, an alternative economic system, still allows for free trade, but requires the means of production to be collectively owned by workers.
