Doesn't Capitalism at its true root, exploit the earth and its people?

Answer 1

exploit - make use of..

But folks want jobs, - business require the services of individuals, - it's a win-win situation.

Benjamin Franklin, - "America's form of govn't is bad, - but from what I've seen, -everybody else's is worse".

def:
exploit - to utilize, especially for profit; turn to practical account (useage)

BTW... free market forces created the concept of labor unions. The free market has a way of fixing itself, - and left alone, - it's the best & cheapest way to get products and services to customers that want them, 99% of the time. Just because it needs to be tweaked, sometimes, -doesn't legitimize govn't incurrsion.

Regan with govn't criticism:
1. If it moves, - tax it.
2. If it's still moving, - regulate it.
3. If it stops moving, -subsidize it.

Answer 2

All human endeavors exploit the Earth and its people. Every economic system, which is all 'capitalism' is. You think the cavemen that existed tens of thousands of years ago didn't exploit the earth when the hunted for food and built their huts? Do you think that they didn't 'exploit' the people when they formed hunting parties, traded with other communities to get more of what they wanted and needed, giving the other community more of what they wanted and needed? Were these folks nasty capitalists?

It's this shallow, narrow minded and uninformed thinking that drives the left. Again, ALL human endeavors, even socialism, at it's root, exploits the earth and it's people. Hey, see how much communism exploits people. Holy cow.

So the answer is yes. As to all other economic systems. Hope that helps.

Answer 3

Capitalism, at its root, is a game. The game must have rules in order to be fair and benefit humanity as a whole. The Constitution of the United States of America was designed to make the game as fair as possible without limiting the game too greatly.

Capitalism without the Constitution is Corporate Fascism. The Constitution has been defiled and figuratively flushed down the toilet. Corporate Fascism remains where a regulated game of Capitalism once was played.

You need only read your history to see less refined versions of what is going on. The best example is Mussolini.

The parallels are clear and they have NOTHING to do with theories.

Many here at Y/A politics accuse me of being a hater.

I HATE FASCISTS and I am proud to proclaim it.

GEORGE BUSH IS A FASCIST.

He was never elected president. He has set up a Serial Fascist Monarchy right under your noses.

If you support the Fascists, I will fight you until my last breath.

If you expect me to debate Fascists as if they believe in facts and fair debate, I will disappoint you.

The Constitution of the United States of America has been dismembered before your eyes.

If all you are interested in doing is debating whether or not it has, you are pathetic lap dogs.

If you are those who consider what has been done to our nation, our Constitution, and our children's future to be okay as long as we appear strong and we appear to be winning, you are Fascists and I intend to expose and defeat you.

It will not be fair or pretty.

Answer 4

Capitalism does not exploit people or resources. People exploit people and resources.
People can exploit people under socialism.
People can exploit people under communism.
Capitalism is better than socialism or communism.

Answer 5

Get rich quick schemes in the capitalist business world, (buyouts, IPOs, conglomerates, acquisitions, mergers, and the stock market), do not actually work. Remaining solvent does not actually exist within false economics capitalism.

Profit existing in the capitalist business world, or millionaires existing within capitalism, is pathological deception committed by the 21 organizations spying on the population with plain clothes agents, (with covert fake names and fake backgrounds).

Actual economics is the persons paying the monthly business loan payments of companies voting at work in order to control the property they are paying for.

Capitalism is the psychology of imaginary parents, false economics, and the criminal deception of employees that are paying the bills (including the stocks and bonds, or shares) of companies.

Anti-Democracy republicanism is the psychology of imaginary parents, and false government.

Answer 6

Capitalism at it's core is a win-win proposition. Let me give an example. The grocer values your cash more than he values a loaf of bread on the shelves, You value the loaf of bread more than the cash it takes to buy it. In this example, Both win. Each hass "exploited" the other to get something he wanted. both have "exploited" the earth unless you wish for no more wheat to be produced?

Answer 7

In its truest form it would not I believe because the people that own the means of production and the owners of natural resources would regulate themselves so as not to use up and destroy they're industry. They would take a long term approach and manage they're resources; this includes labor. Unfortunately humans are short sighted greedy sob's.

Answer 8

YES. Is there any system of government or any economic system anywhere that does not exploit (use) the earth and its people?

Answer 9

Yes, if you follow the practice without concern or compassion. No other system can compare to the output of a free capitalist economy. For some people, what they gain personally is more important to them then the cost to other people. Usually, they ease their guilt by denial and rationalization. Output is important, but not at the expense of one's humanity, at least not for me.

Answer 10

yes, this is why even Adam Smith, the writer of the Wealth of Nations which spawned all modern day Capitalism, believed Capitalism should be regulated and balanced with other systems.
