  • Neither does my statement reject capitalism. I reject the monopolies. There is not really a competitive market. It may or should be a natural monopoly but there are means to produce competitive markets but they are not yet implemented.

    Capitalism does not exclusively mean monopolies. Recap: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism

    Capitalism is an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit.[1][2][3][4][5] Central characteristics of capitalism include capital accumulation, competitive markets, price systems, private property, property rights recognition, economic freedom, profit motive, entrepreneurship, commodification, voluntary exchange, wage labor and the production of commodities.[6][7][8][9] In a market economy, decision-making and investments are determined by owners of wealth, property, or ability to maneuver capital or production ability in capital and financial markets—whereas prices and the distribution of goods and services are mainly determined by competition in goods and services markets.










  • How do you draw your conclusion that you should buy software if you can? Just because I can spend 100 bucks on a game 2024 that is exactly like the game of 2023 but with different names, doesn’t mean I should buy it. If more and more people start pirating it, they have to lower the price in order to reach more people. This is microeconomics.

    There is no single reason for an individual to buy it apart from convenience or too little knowledge.

    Moreover, as long as the people in movies are getting paid more than governers, there’s no reason to give them any penny. Adjust the broken monetary system, and I’ll pay. But not right now.

    Why would I want to give Katy Perry 3 cents per listen? The system is broken.

    You may buy a game if it’s made by an independent person.
