Capitalism has ruined both work AND leisure.
Wat do?
Capitalism has ruined both work AND leisure
first I sage then I hide
Make money and fuck bitchs
How the hell is students a leisure class? Working is more relaxing and leisurely than being a student.
What's this from?
sauce?
>muh capitalism
Its not "real" capitalism, just like it was never "real" socialism.
>"Our fight is with money. Work alone will help us, not money. We must smash interest slavery. Our fight is with the races that represent money."
Fuck your trips OP
I keep telling you about the glorious homeland, the people's republic, but you won't listen comrade. They lie to you every day, the swine, the bourgeoisie pigs, because they themselves don't know how to plug the hole in their lives except with more subjugation for the mass of unhappy people. And all they can dream of is to subjugate other unhappy people from their own penthouses, but as they attain those heights they only realize how much they loath and resent the society below them, the one they continue to reproduce every day.
Come back home comrade.
world of nations by christopher lasch, chapter titled is revolution obsolete
published in 1973, so times were different but a lot is the same.
No manual labor, no making use of capital tools, no value added production to external resources.
Turing machines with bitten apple logos are excluded here ideologically.
>mfw the criticisms against capitalism are vague accusations, rabble rousing, poetic waxing, and purple prose
>mfw the promoters of capitalism use data showing that the quality of life increases in countries which switch from socialism to capitalism, mathematical models, and historical trends
So who do I believe folks?

Capitalism kills the individual physically and psychologically. You can never be truly happy with capitalism.
About this, i don't know about it.
I've studied, and it was a pain, but it was bearable. I wonder, what is worse between doing difficult studies (STEM, medical studies, law), and being a wagie.
It's common to misattribute the failures of government regulation to the free market.
Work the Blockchain or have it work you
healthy capitalism needs regulations.
quality of life is subjective you massive retard. poor people with shit (((QoL))) are often the happiest
See my post

>Vague accusations
This Christopher Lasch, i didn't know him, but he sounds based, like a true Marxian. Not another SJW leftist cuck. Americans need more of those people.
>mfw QoL has fallen steadily since the 50's
>inb4 muh supercomputer in your pocket
Stem education was fucking torturous compared to just working
Most people are retards and don't know that 99,9% of humans are under capitalism.
Socialism is capitalism. It is state capitalism.
Socialism is a total lack of ambition, and failed since 1850.
There are some socialist states who are utter failures, like Venezuela, and other who do quite well, like Denmark, but both relies on the core of capitalism: wagecucking.
When someone is really ambitious, he aim not for capitalism reform, but it's abolition.
None of these pathetic capitalism fud articles talk about the multiple elephants in the room vis a vis capitalism in America today
The U.S. population has completely doubled since 1954 (160 million to 320 million-no European country has come close to this kind of growth and have only just begun to suffer the consequences of wholly inorganic population growth under their one-time refugee crisis; imagine how the current European benefits system would handle a "refugee crisis" that lasts for 70 years), and this is excluding an underclass of an estimated 20 million (like 7% of the entire working population) illegal immigrants has had a significant effect on both the Labor and Housing Market.
The tariffs placed on US industry by Europe and Asia, ostensibly locking American companies out of markets with hundreds of millions of potential consumers and forcing them to compete with European and Asian firms exclusively in their "home turf".
These tariffs, along with domestic taxes that were until recently higher than any OECD country (US circa 2013: 39%, OECD average: 25%) predictably driving factories and capital in general out of the US and into Western Europe and the far east-who then sell back into the US with nothing to lose and everything to gain in doing so.
Europe opting out of the development of new prescription drugs and treatments, instead lying in wait while the US picks up the slack and the tab (60% of NME originate in the US), while European companies dump legacy medicinal products like insulin on American consumers for hundreds of dollars they sell the same shit to their own people for pocket change, while Belgium threatens to break the IP of any American company that sells its drugs at greater than "at cost" prices in the EU. Americans pay more so that the world can pay less. Domestic policy is also a factor: Phase 3 trials for pharmaceutical drugs in the U.S. went from costing $400 million when adjusted for inflation to over 2 billion today.
"Dignity of labor". Jesus Christ. Both capitalists and communists and everyone in between seems to have an unbelievable level of stockholm syndrome about having to work to survive. The level of romanticizing is incredible. Humans and human culture have adapted over millennia to a life of menial servitude or subsistence labor for most people and have created values that make it feel worthwhile in some sense, but we're coming to an end of all that. Once AI gets going properly, human labor is going to become a sick joke. Doesn't matter if that happens in 20 years or 200, any ideas you have about being a part of an intellectual tradition that's meaningfully going to extend into the future are based on a failure to notice the obvious thing that's going to tear out the foundation of all of it.
Federally enforced loans and grants driving the cost of a college degree well beyond that of inflation and facilitating the near ubiquity of overpriced college degrees (graduation rates per capita had increased by 25% or so since the late 80s despite now staggering costs associated with those degrees and over a trillion dollars in debt held by these students). It's telling that American colleges that use legally enforced loans and grants provided by the federal government as a springboard to charge unreasonable prices to their students have staff that are constantly attacking "capitalism" itself and attending socialist rallies and so on.
Ensuring that the students at these schools come out of their shithole college blaming some intractable "system" they don't even understand instead of expressing their anger about the $500 bill they receive in the mail every month is a genius damage control ploy that's still staring its primary victims right in the face.
number of patents, total spending.. you see, this does not really mean 'muh US better'. US simply rapes its own medical industry and this is why they're not competitive internationally. Works for other sectors as well (education)
nobody cares, ahmed
Way to completely misinterpret my dismay at US healthcare spending as it directly relates to a LACK of EU and world spending as some kind of boast you projecting idiot. You wif Norf or Souf m8?
>education
Please do come to America and educate these peoples' children; we simply have "the worst public education system in the developed world", we just need some nice teachers from Europe to turn everything around-or maybe some new computers.
>Christopher Lasch
>he was a neo-Marxist and acerbic critic of Cold War liberalism
Daily reminder that leftypol has been instructed to infiltrate blue boards by convincing them that capitalism is evil.
Kys OP.
Yup. I've been saying this for years. College was always "the way", as in, my sister was the smart one, she went to college. Problem is, college graduates were once the minority but now are becoming the majority and thus job markets requiring said degree are the new rat race, whereas once upon a time a degree was "the way" OUT of the rat race. Now, graduates are leaving college with government enforced debts, that start being payable the minute they graduate, leaves the holder of the degree scrabbling for a job with new car levels of monthly debt and nearly zero job experience, all the while competing for entry level jobs with increasing levels of candidates year over year. This leads to employers having increasingly difficult to meet job requirements in the form of past experience or post graduate education in an effort to filter out said increasing number of candidates. It's a shitty road to point the youth down, yet the primary education system still grooms every class to seek University as if nothing has changed since the 60's, when college really WAS the answer. Unfortunately, most educators in the field are still of an age where they have failed to realize their experiences are not what their students will receive upon graduation, and continue to push the agenda in good intents.

I worked manual labor before I entered my biology program. The manual labor was more relaxing and better for me compared to this bullshit.
