the resources they extract from others labor

The meme that capitalism is exploitation should be considered harmful. In market societies, money is (in general) not forcibly extracted and trade certainly doesn't happen (in general) at the expense of others.



I didn't say 'forcibly'. One way or the other, it's about others labor and assets being concentrated in the hands of people who squander them.


I understand where you're coming from. It seems unfair. Don't worry though, plenty of cocaine and prostitutes are left for the proletariat. In fact I think average consumption is about even down the ladder. We no longer have to make do with religion.


I don't really want those, I want the yacht!


Greedy rat bastard coal miner. Give ya a finger and you want the hand. Take the whoores & blow or you'll get Jesus. Makes no difference to me.

Anyway, what good is a yacht without them.
