Communist Views

[Cavernio]

I've just thought of more things to add. Firstly, there are plenty of other jobs that, again, exist purely because of capitalism, and that effort could be put towards more productive things. The stock market is the biggest one that I can't imagine I didn't think of earlier. Along with that goes banking, financial advisors and taxes. These are all positions which exist because we're capitalist.

Another bonus to not being capitalist would be that there would be no reason to swindle anyone. The example that came to mind is actually swindling on a large scale, and is also affecting the quality of research we do. It's the pharmaceutical industry. Anyone in a medical or biological field knows to be very critical as to where money for research has come, and if a person writing an artical is actively being paid money by a company to portray a drug or treatment in better light than was actually shown. Without money though, there'd be no incentive beyond personal glory (which I don't think there'd be much of since no one would know who you were anyways), to spruce up results of drug therapies. There'd also be no reason for manufacturers to make fake drugs, put brand-name labels on them, and sell them worldwide, while people die because they think they're taking their medication when they're not.
