"allowed". Ofcourse Net Neutrality is important but thats not my point here.

The average person has very little to no political knowledge and yet wants to hold opinions, as if freedom of speech gives them the ability to be verbally productive. It doesn't. When I explain whats wrong with Capitalism, the average person would be like 'hey it works'. Whenever Capitalism fails or effects them negatively it becomes a problem? Pretty low brown sticky stuff. American and British Capitalism & Imperialism has suffocated the world, led to massacres and genocides, famine, diseases and crimes beyond mention. A bomb deflects of the middle-east and hits France and suddenly its a critical issue all of us should be concerned with.

Yes... monopoly, or an oligarchical structure, is a primary facet of Capitalism that comes with a free market. So is oppression and domination. & are a ton of other negative brown sticky stuff. But I hate it when people think this just ONLY became a problem. So a nation that has justified the destruction of many countries, depleted their resources and culture, caused famine and diseases, literally genocided a continent etc. and has no regrets to date deserves far worse. Trump is a a nutshell definition of what the Western hemisphere is made up of.

So what's your proposed solution? Complete equality with a Gini index of 0? There's parts of Capitalism that works such as causing innovation among individuals and motivating individuals to strive for something. However, I do think that some of the necessities in life should be sort of given to all human beings or in part subsidized. Food, Health Care, Housing -- These are necessities that I think could be provided with some sort of subsidy for poor individuals. I still think that even these can't be completely free because then it leads to individuals just living life to the basics and not worrying about contributing to society.

Yes Capitalism does have benefits as well. In the industrial revolution Capitalism was able to uplift the economy and make proper use of the capital. The problem is its means and side effects. Majority of the western wealth right now was built on the backs of African slaves, depletion of resources in India, Carribeans and the Middle-east as well as causing poverty, famine and disease amongst the lower class. Imperialism - using force to drive a policy, is almost necessary for Capitalism to hold its ground. The collective deaths caused by Capitalism outclasses nearly all ideologically-led deaths as a whole including Stalin, Hitler and Mao.

I'm very certain you have the wrong idea of equality. Most people have an oxymoronic understanding of equality when debating left-wing ideologies. We suggest equality such as in education, housing, electricity, welfare etc. to provide fair and equal grounds for people to live in. It is not fair that a child cannot attend music classes because his family cannot purchase the equipment needed whilst a child from a rich family can. Also equality in the work we do. Nobody will sit around whilst others work that isn't Socialism or Communism. I'm glad that you care about these necessities too.

Motivation and incentives are a different case. 30-40% of the graphics I've done to date are free. I did them because I was either experimenting or wasting time. But the main part is that I enjoy doing graphics. I didn't need money in return esp. if I'm already doing well. When I have all my miniwar & pvp gear (using relevant examples btw), I dont want another 5b sitting in the bank. I'd get rid of it. Real world example: Thomas Edison pionneered great things but Tesla would have made electricity free with much better ecological considerations and consumption methods. But Edison's method would have made more profit. So at the expense of all humanity Tesla was placed in the shadows. The point is that there needs to be a balance between crushing those around you and collectively growing.
