  • I would say that capitalism does seem like paradise, but as soon as you think even slightly deeper it’s terrible. Sure it’s great for everyone to be able to choose where to work or not work, and to have many different options on what to buy, but it falls apart rather quick. People often don’t have much of a choice of where to work and they are forced to participate in capitalism to survive, which means abusive employers run rampant. And as far as product choice, it seems great, but with infinite growth we will run out of resources to continue.
