You believe in creating a more equitable society where wealth and resources are distributed fairly among all individuals.
Anti-capitalism is a political ideology that opposes the principles of capitalism, which is an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, investments determined by private decision, and prices, production, and the distribution of goods determined mainly by competition in a free market. Anti-capitalists believe that capitalism is inherently exploitative, leading to social inequality, and is not sustainable in the long term. They argue that the capitalist system prioritizes profit over the well-being of individuals and the environment, leading to a conce…

If all necessities were provided, what do you think would motivate people to work and innovate?
@9L6WCDJ 2mos2MO
People would be more motivated to work and innovate if they first gained easier access to education to work in the fields they actually desire, rather than the path society inherently leads them through - which would be more productive.
@9L8MHYH2mos2MO
Sometimes people do not have the funds to go through college for the career they want to pursue, which leads them to a minimum wage job, or a job that isn't pleasing for them, making them dread working the job.
@9L6WCDJ 2mos2MO
I agree - financial aid and scholarships are a great resource that lower-class citizens should be made more aware of.
If everyone stops working, everything will start breaking down.
@9L8CPY22mos2MO
People have actually been shown to want still to work even in the presence of a UBI, and in this scenario, people can find something they are passionate about.
more pay or better opportunities to have lower taxes or bills
@9L6X24X 2mos2MO
No, I don't. People need ownership of what they do and that in itself is an incentive. Capitalism incentivizes discovery, invention, and hard work. I don't know how they function on Star Trek, but their cashless, classless society is fictional.

How would your daily choices be impacted if products were made to last rather than be replaced?
@9HZ6GNN4mos4MO
I think we wouldn't waste as much products and save alot of profit.
@9J3MRMV4mos4MO
An increase in quality would mean an increase in prices. An increase in prices provides a natural incentive for people to take care of their possessions and replace them less often.
@9J2GZMC4mos4MO
it would make the most sense to have things that last because when we have reliable things that will work for a long time we wont need to get new ones as often making it easier to not waste
@9HZ634N4mos4MO
I would definitely have more money because I wouldn't have to be replacing everything.
@9HZ6WFL4mos4MO
My daily choices would be impacted in a negative way. I would no longer be careful of the items that I would be using because they were made to last. Also. it would make me go outside less, to buy things, it would be able to save me money as well.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
What if our sense of community became stronger than our desire for individual financial success; how would daily life change?
@9L3NSXC2mos2MO
then America would have Lower Crime rates, We Would be much safer, And we would Focus on much more Important things
@9L3NS652mos2MO
People would be able to pursue passions over profit and work towards a sustainable and supportive community rather than financial success.
@9L3NQRS2mos2MO
daily life wouldn't change too much, rather the mindset and goals of people would certainly change
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How would it make you feel if success was measured by impact on others rather than personal wealth?
@9KW5CM8Republican2mos2MO
Success should be based on one's own, personal definition; it is unique for every person and situation. In the terms of privatized businesses, success is based in terms of how much profit they can make. In my opinion, using the anti-capitalist definition of success cannot be used because every person and privatized business have the right to their own, unique usage and definition of success that best fits their personal beliefs.
@9KTH4KP2mos2MO
I think that wealth shouldn't be determinative of how important a person was.
@9KTGZ552mos2MO
A shift towards measuring success by impact on others rather than personal wealth could be seen as a positive evolution towards a more socially focused and equitable society.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
If you could create an economy based on sustainability and fairness, what would be your first step?
@9HMK5435mos5MO
Increase tax rates on large corporations and wealthy individuals and reinvest in programs based on social mobility.
@9HMK5XK5mos5MO
Destroy all large corporations and monopolies and nationalize industry.
To raise taxes for larger corporations in order to fund public projects
@9HMKFBX5mos5MO
Relocating funds of the extremely wealthy to social programs and free college through both tax and budget reform.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
What kind of changes would make you enthusiastic about participating in a local community project?
@9HVFTCC5mos5MO
i do not know i dont think any changes wold make me more enthusiastic about anything
I despise capitalism, I believe the rich benefits off of the hard work of the hardworking poor, who 90% of the time aren’t compensated at a rate that is fair enough in comparison of the CEOs of these big corporations who take home hefty paychecks and give scraps to the workers.
It wouldn’t take much for me to participate in an anti capitalism community project.
@9HVWL2K5mos5MO
I don't need any more motivation to help out. I think the rich ride off the poor in this world and it's gross.
@9HVFWCHRepublican5mos5MO
I'm afraid I have to disagree with anti-capitalism because as American citizens you should be able to own whatever you want.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Can capitalism truly address social issues, or does it inherently aggravate inequality and injustice?
@9H5BR666mos6MO
I would not say that Anti-Capitalism can truly address social issues simply because the system is too deeply integrated into American society already. Though I agree completely that capitalism can push inequality and further environmental issues, it is inherently the most "fair" system we can live fruitfully under.
@9H5C97RConstitution6mos6MO
Unabridged capitalism promotes prosperity and opportunities... Therefore it allows progress for the ones willing and capable.
@9H5C52SLibertarian6mos6MO
if there's no incentive to get better, then nobody will want to get better.
@9H5CCN36mos6MO
if they listened to the people and let them voice there opinions and expierence then it would be up to the citizens mainly
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Do you think capitalism encourages innovation, or does it exploit the many for the benefits of the few?
@9HCSN8Q6mos6MO
In its current form, there are too many opportunities for exploiting the working class in favor of the rich. The government needs to introduce more regulations.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
What aspects of your life would you prioritize if societal success wasn't measured by wealth?
@9HV3C6J 5mos5MO
If we magically didn't need money, and a more capitalist economy is shown to work out the best for any country (One example: America), I would travel and live in nature or live in simplicity. I would build a home, find a place to build off of, garden, read, paint, and grow a family. I would take time to enjoy my life. There is always still a chance to have this, or even if I end up not having all this, I can still be happy, with or without the money.
@9HTW9KW5mos5MO
Actually taking time to enjoy nature and appreciate the wonderful preservation of national parks
