Fuck Communism and fuck unchecked capitalism. People deserve basic human rights. Free heallthcare, education, insurance and liveable basic income is a must. It doesn't make your society full of freeloaders instead it gives all the people a chance to become what they want in the society. I hope that people can see this basic difference and we can work towards for a better future as humanity instead of whatever country title.
Capitalism always leads to monopolies and will always be in conflict with workers.
No, no it does not. Competition for nearly everything exists, sure there might not be enough but saying "always leads to monopolies" is a lie. Anyway communism usually has monopolies too, just monopolies operated by the government
By workers I presume you mean employees. Yes, greedy people will try to abuse their workers but as the person you're replying to said "unchecked capatilism is also bad", we have minimum wage for a reason, and then there is also competition and if you have a valuable skill they can't afford to exploit you
You can't even live on minimum wage, WTF is your point? 🤣
Depends on the minimum wage
Which one are you referring to?
A good minimum wage
Quite vague, I know but its the only way to explain it
What would be a good minimum wage?
Slightly above a living wage
Can you give me a number, my man?
(Cost of living/month) * 1.2
For a monthly salary
