oh my god, i might actually have a decent way to explain capitalism's fatal flaw decently for the first time in my life

ive always wanted this and my brain may have finally churned it out after what, years of learning and thinking on the subject?

capitalism is a monetary system attempting to recreate an infinite energy machine: but we already know those to be incapable of existing within the laws of physics

any system which attempts to take a monetary system and provide a way for people to benefit off that system is attempting to make a finite energy machine into an infinite energy machine

the people who pay the cost are the poor, the marginalized, the people othered by the system, the colored

show me the lie or did i literally just Figure Out capitalism after years of attempting to

literally every part of capitalism that is problematic and flawed fits this model, to my layman's eye: the education system must be profitable to exist, so it must make money, from where no money can be made

so money is made, by harming marginalized people, hurting the lower echelon, benefiting the upper echelon

for a job to exist, it must be profitable for the company in question to have that job opening:

so money is made, by requiring participation in the education system beyond the free bits, and things like college educations become required to work for someone

'years of experience' become requirements, and then the system is self defeating, because you cannot get a job without already having had a job, because thats the only way to remain profitable

you see, the way the job system remains profitable is by never training people to do the job, you must already be trained, and that is where the money is saved, making it a finite energy machine like it must logically be, since an infinite energy machine is impossible

@hoodie the job system is profitable because x amount of labour by a person earns y capital.
that person is then paid y/50 capital and the remaining 49 chunks of y are the profit
