Yeah I actually want to get away from capitalism, thank you very much.
The very idea of shareholders is amoral. If you own something, you need to have responsibility for it, too. Thats exactly whats stripped of shareholders. They just give money to make more money. No responsibility whatsoever. Thats why I oppose that very concept.
Its legitimate motive for companies to make profit.
That doesnt mean I have to buy poor products or that MAXIMIZING PROFITS AT ALL COSTS - the logical result of having anonymous shareholders who have no responsibility for the company to develop well and who can sell the stocks at any time - is in any way legitimate.
What always kills me about anti-capitalist rants is the irrational desire to fix power discrepancies by giving even more power to fewer people.

Because the 99% are the few now, apparently.
Well, your "99%" may be overstated, but I agree in principle. Which falls right in line with what Wargfoot said. It's the anti-capitalism that hurts economies, causes more people to fall into your "99%", causing more taxes to pay for their support, hurting the economy still more, causing still more to fall into your "99%", and eventually leads to your "99%" actually becoming real.
Guys, politics is a reason posters are getting banned, don't get banned!
Well, that post started a month and a half ago. Some replies, etc., leading up to another post. I just wanted to set the record straight on that topic.

That's understandable, but the more political posts you do, the more reason there is for them to move from ignoring the odd one to considering a ban.

I know. I hope this is the end of it. Both sides have been presented and this is a good place to let it end, as far as self-moderation.
