    Got it, yes i agree with that mostly.

    However, wouldn’t this kind of ruin any hard work towards a goal like owning your business or moving up in a company from doing hard labor to an easier office job as you get older?

    I know you’ll say “people already work hard labor jobs at 80 years old because of capitalism keeping them down!” But thats not everyone. A lot of people have worked hard and succeeded. If you’re only rewarded for your labor and not owning anything to gain money off of it, you will be working hard labor jobs forever. Because we can all agree hard labor jobs deserve more pay than any other job (programmers, youre out of luck now, thats a cushy job).

    Im being an ass on purpose, because these are real world arguments you need to convince real people of why capitalism is actually bad, because many people are not convinced it is.

      I’m not sure which sentences are you trying to be an ass and which are legitimate ignorance. You literally said you don’t disagree? I’m happy to try to counter ignorance, even feigned ignorance, but it is a waste of time if you trying to be an ass or are just going to reply “Well I know that but…”
