Laissez fair capitalism never works.

I don’t understand this mindset. Looking at numbers in a vacuum.

The labor market is literal wage slavery, with slaves being rented instead of owned.

This attitude of everyone for themselves is literally what’s wrong with this modern, disgusting “individualist” pull yourself up by the bootstraps society.

I know the rules here are to be civil, but I really don’t understand this “f you I got mine” mentality.

And yet it's the best system we've devised so far. Maybe we should go back to the older systems where the only way to climb the social ladder was to go to war pillaging our neighbors and taking them as slaves

This is the truth, and it's the saddest part of all...

It sounds like you're only seeing the extreme examples of the divide between individualism and communalism.

There are much more reasonable arguments made for individualism than "f you I got mine", just like there are more reasonable arguments for communalism than the ones posed by Stalin.
