Imagine thinking that you should just get resources without paying for them.

Imagine keeping available resources artificially low so that you can manipulate people into thinking they are scarce and valuable.
-
So you're inventing monopoly/oligopoly conditions to make your point in favor of this fantasy utopia where everyone freely shares.
-
I love how you free market morons always call a world where people freely share resources utopian but at the same time insist that a market economy where no monopolies form is definitely achievable
-
Given a market of finite size, "perfect competition" is impossible, as there are only a finite number of competitors and a finite number of options, and the success of a single actor will tend to shrink the number of competitors until monopoly is achieved.
-
Since not even the universe is infinite, it thus follows that the ideal capitalist market, with "self-regulation" via constant competition is also impossible.

I wonder what a medieval vision of the future looked like.
-
If we’re talking European Christian medieval vision, I’d say they believed that Judgement day will come before any notably different future, so why bother? The Revelation is a vision of future, of sorts.
-
Probably. That's a lot less sad than how pro-capitalists see it though.

That's absurd. There won't still be people in 10,000 years.

or oxygen

There's probably gonna be some oxygen I'm pretty sure. Like I'm no astrophysicist but like I suspect there might be.
-
You're probably right. I guess I meant it won't be in breathable form.
-
I mean that's a fair point. I guess this is one of those things that happens on twitter where the character limits keep people from making conditional statements. It's the plight of our age let me tell you.

More like 5% tbh

More like 0.25% I think. :)

In my defense, when making this I was trying to be as loose and generous as possible with my definition of "capitalism" and lowball just how far back "recorded history" could be reasonably interpreted to go haha.
-
Haha, fair enough! I actually kind of forgot it said "recorded history", so your estimate is probably closer than mine. Anyway, I liked the meme.
