  • capitalism relies on the assertion that everyone must work for a living or else they starve.

    I think it’s more accurate to say that capitalism relies on the constant extraction of value from the masses into the hands of a few at any cost. Your quality of life (pay) is proportional to how effective you are at aiding that goal on behalf of the elite. And anyone that cannot aid in that goal is abandoned (healthcare) to suffer and eek out a livelihood on scraps (dwindling social systems and support).

    Basically, your value as a human being comes down to how much value you can extract from every other human being. That is why a baseball player makes millions for playing a game while a teacher make peanuts.
