That is about the extent of the praise I will give it.
The Capitalist Philosophy (what it feels like to me)
Here's what the Capitalist Philosophy feels like to me, a direct recipient of the Capitalist model's practices for the entirety of my life.
Take As Much As You Can.
Give As Little As You Can.
This Is Called "Profit".
And, It Is The Highest "Good" Of The Capitalist System.
Give As Little As You Can.
This Is Called "Profit".
And, It Is The Highest "Good" Of The Capitalist System.
Here is my direct response to this "Capitalist Credo".
In a word : yuck.
A Dead-End
"The Capitalist System is a Dead-End system."
It is quite simply put : unsustainable.
It completely ignores the fundamental nature of our planet.
Our planet is based on a system of recycling of resources.
"Wanton Consumption without Restoration will result in a systemic collapse."
If you take and take and take and don't give back, you completely exhaust something.
It is just fundamental to the way, our planet, our ecosystems, our-selves, work.
A system which is all give and no take will just wind up destroying everything, and, sadly, it is.
How Does The Capitalist System View Humanity?
If Capitalism was an entity which human beings could communicate with, it would tell humankind this :
A Dead-End

How Does The Capitalist System View Humanity?
If Capitalism was an entity which human beings could communicate with, it would tell humankind this :
You are a selfish, hedonistic, naturally evil creature.
You are interested in nothing more then your own pleasure.
You do not care about how much you destroy as long as you get what you want.
You are a plague of locusts.
You are a virus, feeding off its host until it dies, and then moving to the next host.
You are a glutton, forever demanding more to slake your insatiable appetite.
You are a truly vile creature, and will wind up destroying yourselves.
But, "Hey! Might as well have fun before everything goes to hell! Let's get that new Bentley!"

I'm sorry.
That was hard for me to write.
But, it came fairly easily because I feel saturated with this horrible feeling.
Truly, the Capitalist system is one which would reduce humanity to nothing more than ceaselessly consumptive pigs, which need to be corralled and herded, lest they just run amok, eating everything in site.
The scariest thing is : WE created this system.
WE are Dr.Frankenstein.
and, WE are the ones who accept this system (albeit with acid bile in our mouths) and keep it going.
But,
you know what,
I think this is for lack of a better system,
a better vision of humanity.
The Next Step : A New System
I don't believe human beings are like the above at all.
I don't even believe we are a balance between the forces of "good" and "evil".
I believe we are naturally good and bright and loving and our nature is perverted by...the sheer difficulty of life and nobody to share the burden with (because everyone is so burdened themselves).
The solution : a system dedicated to making people STRONG.
Because strong, empowered people are people who have the inner-peace and maturity that can allow love to blossom and flourish.
Again, Enter : Humanism.
