Capitalism's goal: profit. Decision makings drive when profit is the bottom line- what gets the most money. The idea that you can gain pass the station you were born into is pure luck or if you end up "studying hard" for that one idea which will end up making enough profit [without stomping on any toes of those bigger then you] to feed those above you and around you so you can have the left overs to trickle down to those who were in the station you were born in. Now both those instances the probability of that actually happening is pretty slim. Seriously before you defend capitalism through numbed minded insults do the math. There is no way for everyone to compete in this. It is a free reign freak show. If you have the possibility to steal the show or tip the scales in your favour who ever is above you will try their damnedest to snuff you out- the bottom line is profit- this is a pretty finite number to work with. If they created enough money to allow and support everyone who genuinely could be giants to be giants the dollar would lose its value.
I worked full time min.wage [just under $8 at the time] splitting 1300 in rent+ utilities 3 ways and I had absolutely no money. I traded food money for activity money trying to keep a balance in there- scrapping by. That is the reality.
Unfortunately Marxism got a terrible name from Russia, communism. Hitler furthered the hate towards this by promoting the values and disregarding the names.
Lets talk about Hitler;
The anger and hate Hitler had for capitalism destroyed many peoples [the ones who are unable to rationally think about the ideas separate from how they were enforced] ability to see the ideals he preached for what they actually are, just destroyed them.
He essentially went crazy with rage and killed so many people because he was right in the initial idea he tried to start with. Pettiness does not gain followers; hating a race of people which in is your own blood due to unknown factors and creating a war that killed millions because of this hate- all because of some dispute with his mother? or the jewish collectors didnt like his art work, this just doesnt seem plausible or even sane to think- its petty. Yet he got support from around the world even to walt disney- someone creating things with children in mind.
The victors write history has never been so blatantly in your face than with that one. Jew was a euphemism in which is still used today for money hoarding [thus the blue eyed, blonde hair children you'd seen in concentration camps with a star of david in video from that time]. Hitler did horrendous, horrible things because he was that afraid of capitalism and what it would bring to this world. I hate his actions, even him as a person but he was right.
An argument for "what is in a name"
Capitalism existed before present day- the system for slavery was the same as capitalisms system is set up now. The only differences- instead of whips, we starve. Instead of punishments, we ridicule. Instead of a hand full of people in golden/jeweled jewelery parading in their respective area.. well thats pretty much the same except there is technology bridging the gap.
The idea of people plunging into chaos only exists if there is coveting to be had. Take away the idea of someone else having it better, replacing that with the idea of self importance [in the sense of you are a cog in which what you do does matter and does help everyone to survive as much as yourself] things could work. What about the lazy/no goods? Maybe they are like that because they do something rare- they think beyond existence as we know it. There are many wasted minds which eventually shut down due to their very skill being of no use in the world as we know it. It only takes a little math to see the dangers of living in a capitalist world. I say its a world unto itself because it is a delicate system and politics do matter when it comes to capitalism.
So we've adhered to Marxist thinking now?
No, by accepting this truth we are adhering to knowing that resource based thinking is how we will survive.
These Communist and Marxist system no matter how "higher thinking" they may be always fail, why?
Capitalism is a monetary based war.. or competition as it likes to be known as. The basis for a resource based system where we get what we need and enjoy each others talents in a shared community is not based in trying to win anything- how can it win a fight its not participating in? Capitalism will crush its contenders, its systematically designed to do so, but it will also destroy itself- as we see today. Death Star would be the most appropriate name to call this system. The system shines bright like a star but it will kill us all.
How can it kill us all?
The consequences of profit for a bottom line allows you to completely ignore any and all other information which does not allow top dollar.
Can there be moral capitalism?
First off, by moral capitalism I am talking about free market with resources and welfare being top priority. To answer the question, only if the highest profit includes survival and resource realism.

Mental Health
We are living in an age where our observations are now growing ever so slightly deeper, societally. Before we would observe the colour of someones skin, the shape of particular features- now we have "grown". We are observing behaviour on a societal level. Oh and how quick we are to jump and label said behaviour.
To me it is simple. If there isn't a nerulogical problem, a genetic mutation [not variation], or developmental issues then the disorder does not exist. Dont jump to conclusions on me just yet. There are people with issues- real emotional "I survived this" issues. Because of having actual real experience [real doesnt necessarily mean good, keep your perceptive devices on hold for this] they have emotions and spectrum scales that differ from those who've lived lives in which sitcoms thrive. There is a stigma that has been created and attached to this slightly larger spectrum these people have.
Imagine no one ever scraped their knees, ever, and if they did- not one person would know about it because their knee would be hidden until it had healed [god forbid it scarred]. Now imagine you scraped your knee- you were in shorts and this was the only lower clothing option you had- you werent planning on scraping your knee- you may not of even known such things could happen/existed- so there was no way to hide this scraped knee. Sure you tried to put a square of kleenex on it and tried to pass it off as the next fashion trend- but you know that knee is scraped. And it seems people believe your kleenex story even when it starts to bleed through and you say you wanted a mishaped blob on it. So you go on and you notice that some other people have pants. As the day goes on you become more and more aware of these people with pants. And not just because you now wish you had a pair, no, now you're starting to notice the differences in reactions to your presence. Some seem to be equally as careless as the others who bought your fashion story. But others seem to have you pinned right away to what is going on. Their stares seem to become increasingly ominous yet not a single word is spoken. They ignore you if they do not know how to handle the information- they distance themselves if they see a chance in which they can be grouped with you [you knew johnny had a funny looking skin gathering on his knee- its starting to come together for you now] and they modify themselves into a per-cautious state whether for support or blackmail [their eyes will tell]. Now this one incident has changed everything you thought you knew about people- you are now living in a world inside of a world which cannot be shared without great scrutiny. Say this scrape left a unrelenting scar. You now have undeniable proof it happened- forever. Sure you do what every sane person would do and you buy a pair of pants or 30 of them. For the most part people dont notice the change but that is while you are you- as an individual. When it comes to social mingling and intimate moments these are forever changed- you may think of a game plan, or avoid it but either way it will never be as it would of been if that scrape never happened. So now you need to deal with this- just the fact that there is a difference in the first place. Something you need to modify yourself over continuously [you really loved shorts]. Your whole life now is compromise.
How do you deal with this? Well some just dont- they escape through various means- an addict of some form or another [some can be seen as more constructive then others but its always subjective]. Some learn a great deal from the compromises made- but they are now stuck on what they've learned and the guidelines society expects from them as acceptable- boxed in like trained animals. In the hypothetical I mentioned the very fact scraped knees are something to hushed about would be ridiculous to us but oh and the ruckus you would make by challenging the very constructs of what someone once thought was an ideal world. Granted it did initiate the growth of what we see today. In this hypothetical world regarding people who never will have to worry about a scraped knee again because they have had the worse already happen- some cope fine, as if nothing had happened- sure they feel mildly disconnected at times and once in a blue moon they may jump from on extreme to another but they will always remain faithful to their envy.
Now so far in what I have described I doubt you've thought ill of the person with the scraped knee [if you did, other than the ridiculousness of it all, then why are you interested in progressive thought?]. In this one instance a scraped knee is the worse of the worse for this person. When it comes down to an extreme low in their life you'd think that they would have the thought "well at least I didnt scrape my knee" but this is wrong. Not what this person is thinking at all. What is going through their mind is "and on top of it all.." scraped knee. This is normal- its what everyone goes through during their low points- but in this world a scraped knee being the worse of the worst once you get into this mind set you will not have the power yourself to just snap out of it. You need and what it is you need is at all times unavailable- this is how it feels. Some people cannot handle such a feeling, especially in a world where it is claimed that all is at your fingertips. The ones that cannot cope [through no fault of their own] will start producing behaviours which emulate fight or flight. The fighters will accept the inevitable- in the hypothetical world that would mean they would fall constantly- scrap themselves over and over to prove that it means nothing. The flyers they will revert into themselves cautiously avoiding all possibilities of falling. The path these people have started on is a spiraled path. If they cannot stop, which most cant [which makes total sense when it comes to realizing that in most cases, whether it is talked about or not, the people with scraped knees come from a line of people falling and some of the people in that line even went as far as to make other within that family scrap their knees to not be alone, and the skills to identify such situations or cope with them are not learned or passed down because they dont exist.] they will end up going into an extreme of the form they have been given through their fight or flight response. Some of these forms are unpleasent to experience beyond the person experiencing it but unfortunately as a society we are so emotionally shut down that we dont even know how to experience such things with these people. With, not because. We are diverting ourselves from ever feeling anything because "Its too hard" yet we pride ourselves on being tough? Where is this toughness- you cannot even handle a tear for the most part yet alone a full blown episode of this persons past yet you also pride yourself on being empathetic. So we've created a quick fix- drugs, simulated lethargy, because no one has time to fix the broken ones.. its disgusting..
