The problem with capitalism is that it only exists thanks to other people’s labour.
Spoiler alert:
ALL the money capitalists hoard is “other people’s money.” It literally belongs to the state that created it. Bill Gates “owns” as much money as I do - nada. None of the money he hoards belongs to him. It’s not “his” money - it never was.
The hoarding of “other people’s money” is literally what makes liberal oligarchy possible - without it, the capitalist mode of production becomes impossible.
The only reason anyone owns anything is we collectively agree, or they can defend it with force.
I thought that was the problem with automating everything aka no need for workers means no one has money to buy anything which means there’s no capital to produce anything.
it’s ok, when that happens the government just hands them more money.
