I mean for capitalism to work, the majority of people in the world have to have nothing, so, yea.

I think you are mistaking the right to murder and steal for human rights

No you just don’t have the right to appropriate the value that other people produce because you “own” the building they do it in

You do not have the right to commit genocide and steal homes in the West Bank

Youre so right. Lets protect the human rights of capital instead of the human rights of other humans

I believe what is meant by nothing is “no capital” i.e. they are laborers

So the argument is “because they could be used as part of capital, products are capital”?

“Capital is determined by the end user” would make food not capital. What is new consumer theory? Nothing came up on google.

Nah man, prisoners still deserve stuff like food, shelter, healthcare, and education

That feels very close to “your body is capital and can be owned by others” ngl

Central planning isn’t “you MUST work here” it’s just direction of production and distribution

Interesting how you jumped straight to force when incentives are far more likely

I really mean libraries and volunteer instructors. And don’t get me wrong, I don’t like child predators, but the goal of prisons ought to be rehabilitative and not punitive. You should also keep in mind that no matter how good our justice system gets, there will be falsely convicted people.

I disagree with the punitive model entirely. Even for mass murderers, punishment seems to me like a meaningless exercise in stroking our egos about our own morality. Is seclusion from the outside world and not being allowed to participate in society not punishment enough? I highly recommend checking out The Fear of 13, it’s a documentary about the life of a man who was on death row for 22 years.

Under global capitalism about a billion people live in extreme poverty (<$2.15/day) and nearly half of all people alive right now live on <$7/day. In the US on any given night its estimated that over 700 thousand people sleep in shelters, their cars, or on the street. The wealthiest 1% of humans over 40% of all global wealth and assets and that number grows daily. The system can only function if billions work for next to nothing but you and so many others are too comfortable to ever care
