<h2>Capitalism is incompitent</h2>
|
|
<p>The growing income inequality is evident enough for the lay person to make the argument that capitalism in incompatible with humanity. One cannot presume that a billionaire can exist along with the unhoused and ascertain that capitalism can provide a healthy society.</p>

<p>As Marx stated in chapter 1 of <a href="https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/ch01.htm" target="_blank">The Communist Manifesto</a>:</p>

<p>Hitherto, every form of society has been based, as we have already seen, on the antagonism of oppressing and oppressed classes. But in order to oppress a class, certain conditions must be assured to it under which it can, at least, continue its slavish existence. The serf, in the period of serfdom, raised himself to membership in the commune, just as the petty bourgeois, under the yoke of the feudal absolutism, managed to develop into a bourgeois. The modern labourer, on the contrary, instead of rising with the process of industry, sinks deeper and deeper below the conditions of existence of his own class. He becomes a pauper, and pauperism develops more rapidly than population and wealth. And here it becomes evident, that the bourgeoisie is unfit any longer to be the ruling class in society, and to impose its conditions of existence upon society as an over-riding law. It is unfit to rule because it is incompetent to assure an existence to its slave within his slavery, because it cannot help letting him sink into such a state, that it has to feed him, instead of being fed by him. Society can no longer live under this bourgeoisie, in other words, its existence is no longer compatible with society. </p>

<h2>Capitalism produces dispair</h2>

<p>The 2020 article published by Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences is very telling on the state of capitalism. Or, at least, American Capitalism, as stated in their article <a href="https://ethicsinsociety.stanford.edu/news/american-capitalism-causing-deaths-despair" target="_blank">American Capitalism is Causing Deaths of Despair</a>. We learn how Ronald Reagan's <a href="https://theintercept.com/2022/08/25/student-loans-debt-reagan/" target="_blank">plan</a> took root in the United States.</p>

<p>Whites without bachelor's degrees also suffer from chronic pain, difficulty socializing and relaxing, mental distress, high BMIs and low wages. Many are not married and do not practice a religion. In 2016, they were less likely to vote because they believed elections were controlled by the rich and big corporations.</p>
