As opposed to some other system in which you directly control the profits of your own production?


Don't feel bad. This one is hopeless.

socialism: directly control some portion of the productive profits, which is arbitrarily set by the state or by some tyranny of the majority.

Unless of course you make some amount of money or resources deemed to be too high, and thus obscene, and as such, you will be punitively taxed for your transgression.

As opposed to capitalism where you are exploited and forced to compete against the third world ;)
You only own production if you are the owner, otherwise YOU are owned.

You're only owned if you choose to be employed. An independent man is better off working for himself self-employed at 1/2 the wages than at the behest of an employer.

Forced to compete against the third world? Now you sound like some kind of populist isolationist.

Quick, you need to find the source of the mind control ray that has you brainwashed. :)

You're unfamiliar with the leftist diatribes on the evil of ethnocentrism, and the rise of multiculturalism?





Indeed. The ism that maintains one should control the fruit of their own labor. How quaint.


pretty sure the people doing work on the farms don't exactly get to eat the fruits and vegetables they produce

You're not exploited, just lobotomized.

Quit your job if you truly believe that.
