@Jaybiiird I would argue that is the point of capitalism, it's designed to deny the rights of those without money.
Think about what economic systems are, what power structures are, who they are designed by, for what purpose?
Monarchy was designed to serve the monarchs.
Then enough lords wanted to move to feudalism, because it was an advancement for the masses and a great system to be a feudal lord in.
Capitalism was next, and it's essentially the same.
It's designed to be described to the masses as a system where everyone has the opportunity to succeed if you just work hard enough, but it serves the people who the masses end up working for.
Those who are generationally wealthy have complete freedom, those at the bottom have very little.
Billionaires are arguably more powerful in today's society than Feudal lords were in our last economic system.
This economic system has outlived its usefulness, we need to move to a more egalitarian, resource based economy, where resources are distributed based on human need rather than profit.
We would still have jobs and could use money to buy luxury goods, but everything a human being needs to live and be a happy, healthy and productive member of society would be provided for them by that society.
Not everyone would need to work, and most people would only need to work about 5 hours a day, 4 days a week.
Any essential jobs needed for the upkeep of society that were lacking in workers could offer better benefits to entice more workers.
Human beings enjoy working, we don't need extra motivation to work, especially if all our needs are met and we have control over when and how we work.
Don't you think you would still want a job, even in a society where you don't need one in order to have food and shelter?
Working 5 hours a day, a few days a week, in exchange you can have money to buy videogames or go see a play or hear live music?
I would love that.
