  • pyramid of capitalist system

    I remember this poster from an old Trades Hall on the West Coast. The current failure of international capatalism makes the point made by this poster more poignant, in that it illustrates the necessary exploitation involved the capatalist system in order for it to work.(P.S. It's advocating... more

    Oh, yes, the elusive religious oligarchy, always rising, rising, rising while pushing the proletarians down. This is so incredibly outdated, which isn't surprising seeing as how the copyright is dated 1911. I don't understand all these OMG TOO TRUE comments, unless the reviewers live in a world of a top hat-sporting bourgeoisie sitting atop piles of money and laughing while they watch their factory workers toil away their meaningless lives. And anyway, the Soviet Union turned into this same pyramid after a while with the Nepmen and the new bourgeoisie who enjoyed all the pleasantries of the idle rich and were practically identical to their European counterparts.

    Funny how socialist complaints apply best to Socialism, not Capitalism.

    This is Socialism, not Capitalism. Really, I think people that would check the capitalist check would be interested in capitalism, not socialist propaganda.

    I'm intelligent, hard-working and a capable person. But I'm not going to "rise to the top" (which, in a capitalist system, only means being richer than the next feller. It seems like a low benchmark for the 'top'.)..I'm not going to rise to the top because I won't accept corporate hierarchy or the wage disparity I'd have to enforce to make a profit. I have to engage in a system I loathe to 'get anywhere' and I'm told it's freedom. More to the point...On a global scale, the picture is generally accurate. Profit is made by someone in the chain of production not getting what their share of what something is worth. I get to charge exorbitant prices for my jeans because I was "ingenuous" enough to have sweatshop labour sew my name on them along with all the other brands they make in the same warehouse. If that's the kind of ingenuous cream that bubbles to the top, and it clearly is, then it's a poor standard to strive for. Perhaps a world system based on compassion and communal growth rather than a focus on competition and personal wealth could come up with a better definition of the top.
