    On the same hand, even if you don’t subscribe to capitalist ideology you’re forced to participate.

    We (at least in the U.S.) have no real safety net for people who are unable to provide for themselves for whatever reason. Capitalism is great if you’re the one with the capital but if not the world can be a brutal, uncaring place and you can quite literally die on the street.

    Crime is endemic to capitalism and I feel like better social safety nets would pay huge dividends in a lot of ways.

        Luckily this is a forum and we can all contribute to the discussion. If you read the comment you replied to you’ll see they mentioned living under unregulated capitalism; I was adding to what they’d said.
