Suggested Daily Topic
The daily topic for today is:
Is capitalism is a fair society? There has been many issues with capitalism such as the weath disparity that has grown out of control in the US. Things that would beneifit socity aren't done because they aren't profitable. Other things that don't benefit society that are profitial are everywhere. Is it fair that the flow of money decides how and what is done in a society?
In case you don't know who I am here is my intro post from way back:
BunnyPuncher Don’t worry your bunnies are “fairly” safe!
Story of an honest Steemian. Honesty in today's world it still exists!!
It is self-interest that drives human behavior. It is not a matter of 'fair' but what is valued.
There's too much corruption in the world for any system for society to be ideal.
I don't believe there exists today a "fair" form of government or societal system.
Right. I mean, are "unfair" people even able to build a "fair" system, and are they willing to?
Until the people of world are able to reach some form of "Collective consciousness" we will never truly thrive.
We have the most complex understanding minds that we know of...yet look to the ants...there is no need for ANY ant to ever ask what it needs to do next....they ALL "just know". Science will tell us " it has something to do with smells and the scents they leave behind."......riiiight.
Have you ever heard of the ant super colony that exists literally, in almost every place on Earth? If not...look it up.
But back to the point....if ants can achieve that level of PEACEFUL world colonization, and we can't, I say it may be time to reexamine exactly which species is actually the most "civilized".
Just my thoughts.
True sir, I couldnt agree more. We are just "intimidated" by the complex, collective organization of those little creatures. With less than human intelligence, they are able to do things we can only dream of. If the wisdom and diligence of ants are expanded to the size of human activity, this world would have been too good to leave.
One thing for sure is that nothing is worse than communism, yet I believe that capitalism has its details that can harm a certain part of the population that lives
CAPITALISM FAILS TO CREATE A FAMILY AND MAKMUR COMMUNITY
the system is characterized by a very simple production process and the non-establishment of private property.
Capitalism with a social tendency (this phrase is surely a heresy for some sociologists) has been applied, paradoxically, in many of the countries with progressive governments. Faced with the failure of the doctrines of communism or materialist socialism, leftist rulers have had no choice but to continue using capitalism, but giving it a social turn, so that it benefits the majorities, that is, the people
U look amazing in your profile pic.
I'm reminded of this old saying: Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's just the opposite.
Capitalism, as long as it exists, can be used for good or for bad. In this context, - (usa) - would have to support all the countries that have been using capitalism with social tendency, but paradoxically, --- (usa) ---, in his speech he says to support democratic governments, but in practice it continues with the traditional line of a right-wing government, supporting in the background the validity of hypercapitalism
Yes it is unfair because the poor are not getting the support they should be provided and gets mocked looked down on and arrested or killed so yeah
Capitalism is not good in any kind of government
Yes @Bidbots, it is not a government at all.
Capitalism promotes economic growth by creating an open market competition.... The result of capitalism is a decentralized economic system, if we compare capitalism while countries controlled by socialism drown in inflation, one case of this would be my country Venezuela, which every day starves children to death and the country collapses more and more.
I didnot receive my SBD from your previous giveaway,why? why you post fake giveaway?
Why?
You have to win to get the SBD. Winners are picked at random.
thanks for the giveaway. I got reward
If capitalism were like nuclear engineering or astrophysics, surely, for an in-depth analysis, it would correspond to professionals or researchers of the aforementioned areas to speak specifically about it, although every citizen who reads could give a personal opinion about it. area according to their experience or experience; for that reason, on capitalism they can have an opinion from a social scientist to a countryman who lives under the influence of this system.
In this world nothing is fair!
So do capitalism.
@alan369, you are correct but not in most of the situations.
For ex: see we have steemit platform. Everything is fair and transparent here.
Am I right?
Now thats a hard question with a simple answer, No, capitalism is not fair but life isn't fair, capitalism offers the most opportunities to someone to get ahead while socialism makes you conform to the system until it starves you to death with debt thanks to the unsustainable social programs.
It's amazing!
Capitalism is a broad term that can work in different ways. The idea of capotalism can work well if it is executed well. In our current world, I wouldn't say that it is.
I wrote a post on this topic a couple weeks ago: https://steempeak.com/philosophy/@anarcist69/would-humanity-benefit-from-a-money-less-society
Try applying communism for a change in your country and you´ll see how it´ll quickly break down into corruption.
Define fair. Is it fair that Neymar's feet are so much more coordinated than mine? Or that he worked really hard, risked his life, gave up bad foods and free time to dedicate himself to something he loved, then became successful? Is it fait that his parents passed on their genetic advantages to him?
Is fairness really the issue? Is it economics or government that creates wealth disparity? Is it the rules and laws that skew the playing field towards those with money? Is it fair that some people dedicate decades of their life to building wealth and are then forced to share that wealth with others? Is it fair that some people dedicate decades of their life to serving wealthy people and are then dismissed without compensation? A gun can kill a rich man as easily as a poor man, but justice rarely gets served on the innocent welfare mom killed by a stray bullet.
Fair is hard to define. Maybe capitalism is fair enough, but humans just suck.
Hey, I am back here after a long time. How are you?
I'm fine. Welcome back.
People hate capitalism until they live in a socialist country.
Capitalism is the bane of our existence. The haves hold on to it with an iron fist often at the expense of the have nots well being and the have nots work like dogs thinking some day they could be a have. The have nots often sacrifice their own well being and half the time only benefit the haves. It's a vicious circle in the end.
I'll probably get hate mail, but here goes.
If capitalism is not jacked around by government controls etc. it is fair. Help enough people get what they want and you can get what you want. Are ethics always utilized, No, but eventually that will come back around.
Do big dog CEO's make enormous amounts of money, Yes, should they, sometimes. Whether people like it or not the founder or CEO of a company took risks, created ideas, invested time energy and money, etc. to make a company that provides something people want, it also provides other people with jobs, and creates cashflow for communities, and other businesses etc.
Ok enough for now.
No, it is not. A mix of capitalism and humanitarianism is the way to go, I would not discard it completely. But there needs to be more focus on PEOPLE.
I agree with you @kaelci.
No, capitalism is not fair but life isn't fair so I guess we should just adapt with it...
Nice topic @bunnypuncher
Until now it is the economic model that has worked the most in the world. I believe that the United States is a capitalist system but at the same time it is very social.
Count me in
I'm here again
Welcome back @izaid
Yeah, this is a really, really tough one!! I don't think there is a fair way. I do believe in working hard, and if you have the ability to make money, you should, and help those that can't.
If it is fair, although sometimes we choose bad partners.
Congratulation to the winners
Is it 'fair' that money decides what is done in a society. No. Money should never be a defining factor. Capitalism at its core is not a bad thing. What has happened is we have lost sight of our purpose in life. I think quite a few things would be quite profitable if the money was spent on helping more. We are no longer a capitalistic society we are materialistic that's when things went wrong. In some areas we've made it illegal to give food to others, namely the homeless. (Not all of them choose to be there) We've made it illegal to collect rainwater. Some areas cannot have veggie gardens or fruit trees. There is so much more. Big companies don't want us doing any of this because it 'might' cut into their profits. That is the main reason why it is not 'fair' money decides what gets done. It's out of greed, not necessity. It is to line someone else's pocket book.
This quote comes to mind with this subject.
I think I'm going to leave things here. I'm a little too passionate about this subject.
Yeah, I think it's fair.
The only fair thing it's me winning the contest
Very tough question. I guess I don't see a workable alternative that doesn't limit personal freedom.
Its just going with trend. Whatever we think is not implementing because riches always win here. Society too give them priority either they look to them with pity in future. But this trend must be stopped.

Capitalism is decidedly not fair.
if you goy money you have power that is it.
yo como vivo en socialismo puro u.u no conozco nada mas que eso
I think capitalism "with a heart" is about the best we can do. Socialism fails every time with ugly consequences.

Love that !
capitalism is a spontaneous system that does not admit a rational justification, and by adding to this system, the market and the individual decisions of each person to satisfy their needs, brings as a consequence the distribution of the income of this society spontaneously, being This is a process involving a large number of subjects, in fact the question is whether society is just enough to live with a capitalist system
