Elon Musk is a fascist…
Peter Thiel is a fascist…
Donald Trump is a fascist…
Isn’t it weird how those most successful at capitalism are fascists? It’s almost as if capitalism is entirely compatible with and possibly even favours fascism or something…
🤔
@aral capitalism *can* work differently too (see elder-sibling-type relationship expectations between employees and employers in Japan), but Friedman made sure to cement the fascist foundation, that we use now where the principle is: money is worth more than humans.
You invest your humanity in a company (time, labor, health): you get no participation in the company's success or the course it takes.
Invest money only: all of the above is yours.
@aral And of course, it's the inverse with risk:
You put your livelihood on the line and carry all the risk when the company goes under.
Invest your money and they'll make sure to cut your losses as best they can to insulate you from any damage.
