It is a nonsense term. You use your reason to participate in capitalism. When you decide to trade for something you want or need, when you trade your labor for something, whenever you decide to do anything economical...you are acting consciously and participating in capitalism.

And littering is not inherent to capitalism, socialist countries like china and Russia are the worst polluters.

But what you do not understand that profits without EXPLOITATION is impossible. You said it yourself when approving all the sweatshops claiming that getting paid 2 dollars/day has lifted these people out of poverty... you are just condoning slavery in fact... that is that capitalist mentality.

What you don't understand could fill the pacific ocean.

When a sweatshop in china offers 2 dollars a day, the person could take that job and improve their economy, or not take the job and try not to starve to death on 1 dollar a day back on the farm. All the jobs you call horrible are actually a boon for those who can land them.

This is exactly where the US was in 1800's. People earned a dollar a day for a full day of labor. That was sunup to sundown, not the 8 hour days that capitalism allows us now. 200 years of progress has made us much better off. It did not happen over night, and it will not happen over night in poor countries today. But we can see the progress.

if all the factoring costs were taking into account BEFORE implementing anything, profits wouldn't be... or it would take so much energy for so little profits... one cannot take out more than what one puts in.... this is physics
