    “Capital”… You keep using that word but I do not think it means what you think it means.

    What is it that Investors invest? Could it be capital? Investors also tend to have ownership of the company.

    Funny I thought a good education was one of the benefits of communism.

      And why should they? What makes investors special beyond “having lots of money”

      Why should workers forfeit their labor at a fraction of its actual value to line the accounts of people who won the birth lottery?

      Investors did not invent the product, they did not design it’s manufacturing process, they did not acquire materials or even the land upon which the factory is built. And yet, they reap all the profits.

      There’s a simpler way

      If you think “capitalism” just means that money exists, then you’ve completely misunderstood the concept
