@simplex I am not that euphoric about capitalism. Sure socialism had its try and it failed. But you refered to all the luxury we have. Its all a end in itself for capitalism. When we wouldnt buy all this rubhish, they wouldnt have money and so no power over us. And you pay it all with your working power and with your loyality. Loyality to the few that own the most of the world. Also it sedates us. Bending our minds.

We in western countries are a few lucky ones who dont live under straight oblitaration. Please look at FoxConn. The workers are building our 2300,- € iPhones under conditions which arent almost worth living anymore. And we driving along with our cruise ships, destroying the environment. Keeping our selves as slaves in mind and in the methaphysical senese who dont know the word freedom anymore. Building walls to keep the poor people out of our countries. Stuffing ourselves with all this useless nonsense the system is selling us.

And what happens when we are old? Too old to be useful in the machinery? The vast of the people here in germany for example dont have a bright futute. Ca. 50% of all seniors will get a pension lower than 800,-€. Some are collecting deposit bottles.

Thats the final result of capitalism. Much better than socialism? Hard to say for me.
