Advisory Briefs 🛠️The purpose of homes should be to house people. The purpose of healthcare should be healing. The purpose of farming should be feeding. Under capitalism, the purpose of all is profit.
𝗌𝗆𝗈𝗄𝗎@advisorybriefs If not for profit, what is the incentive for a farmer to produce more than is needed to feed ones family?
@smokku The same incentive that runs Mastodon, for the good of the collective.
Also, markets have existed before capitalism, and will likely exist after capitalism. Capitalism ≠ markets.
Here's a good primer from Richard Wolff, economist from Harvard, Yale, and Standford: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swpR41pRdMA
Ask Prof Wolff: Can Market Socialism and Marxism Coexist?
@advisorybriefs I am running a Mastodon server. I've also been working my arse off on the farm.
Believe me, it is not comparable effort.
I will not work on the farm anymore even for good money and WAY NOT for free to feed someone else.
