    The person you are responding to took my comment out of context

    I was talking about money fees

    And your comment seems pretty ignorant of the issues of capitalism

    All capitalism does is make people wage slaves, they are not free to be them

    In the past humans worked together in tribes and used their strengths in each area to be effective

    Now people are stuck as wage slaves working their life away so corporate overlords can live in luxury

      What you don’t understand is money, money is an abstraction of the value you created through your labor, when you buy something you exchange your labour for someone else’s labour.

      What you are asking is for you to provide no labour but get free food from another person’s labour ( also known as slavery ).

      No matter the economic system the simple reality that things like food and housing aren’t free are true, so someone has to work.

      The free market simulates everyone using their strengths since people end up in the jobs they are best at and are actually needed by other people ( if you want to make art all day it better be good enough for another people to exchange their labour for it). In capitalism you are forced to be useful to others

      People’s lifes today are better than they have ever be, instead of being jealous that some people have it better because of their contributions to the economy ( other people valued their labour highly so they got paid more) maybe be grateful of the living conditions you are given. If you really want to live in a mansion work hard for it and maybe one day you’ll get it.

      I know it’s trendy to hate on capitalism but please study some economics before trying to demolish the very thing that enables you to have a phone and post here
