The purpose of capitalism is not profit, the purpose of capitalism is empowering the rich. Profit is a means to that end, and one that is regularly discarded when the most profitable move is to let power be decentralized. For example, any company outside the healthcare industry would profit massively from universal healthcare because it dramatically reduces attrition in their workforce while costing less than privatized healthcare meaning taxes on their company could be lowered. But rather than lobbying for universal healthcare and increased profits, companies stand in solidarity with their fellow companies in the healthcare industry.
The idea that capitalism is simply pursuing personal gain so it would be irrational of them to be kind is yet another capitalist lie to excuse deliberate oppression. The goal of the invasion of Iran is not to profit, the goal is to crush Iran.
The purpose of capitalism is not profit, the purpose of capitalism is empowering the rich.
The ENTIRE purpose of capitalism is profit, line goes up, this is what empowers the rich.
The goal of the invasion of Iran is not to profit, the goal is to crush Iran.
Wrong, removing the regime is the central idea so that the American oil companies can step in and declare Iran’s massive reserves as their own.
Trump is the puppet here, the figurehead if you want to go that far.
