capitalism provides more opportunity of equality compared to communism/socialism

[Deleted member 18372]

In a communist/socialist society, in theory, every human has equal materialistic resources and opportunities. However an equality and limitation in the accumulation of such resources means that the only difference between humans are their looks, IQ and EQ. In such a society, the natural inequality amongst humans' looks would magnify which will take away all the copes ugly people and aspie people have.

Our hapiness and perceived life quality depends on how much better we live than other people. A low class family in the modern world has a more luxurious life than a 11th century king. Yet why are they unhappy? Because 90% of people currently live better than them.

An ugly and non-NT person can cope in the modern world by achieving status via moneymaxxing, however an LTN in a communist society is doomed to loneliness and mediocrity since there is nothing he can do to achieve status. The person will suffer forever looking at chad's life. The person will have no hope and no cope.

Critique of Markets

Overproduction
Currently the market produces 50% more food than it would need to feed earth's entire population.

Distributional Inefficiency
And yet, despite the market producing 50% more food than it would need to feed earth's entire population, 10,000,000 people starve to death every single year with another billion suffering from malnutrition.

Ruthless Competition
Everyone who does not do the best to get ahead of everyone else is actively punished by being overtaken by somebody else, leaving no space for anything that isn't the most profitable.

Inequality
With economy controlling so many aspects of society, it only makes sense that people with more economic power can have better life and better opportunities.

Generational Inequality
With better opportunities, people with more economic will have children that will have better opportunities (such as education and better social contacts), this will exponentially increase over generations, with people with less economic power having progressively less and less and people with more progressively more and more.

Corruption
With the massive amounts of money that can be amassed by individuals, buying influence becomes easy and common, leading to oligarchies, imperialism and general opression.

Poisoning of Society
Slavery, racism, anti-semitism, transphobia, homophobia, nationalism, misogeny, castes, ableism, ageism, anti-intellectualism, aporophobia were all caused in one way or another by market economics.

Monopolies
With rampant corruption, any sort of government will eventually become a puppet of the economy, leaving no democracy or freedom to speak of.

Inevitable Feudalism
With political monopolies forming, the society will eventually become more or less owned by one person and because of generational inequality, the corporate positions will become more or less inherited.
