capitalism is a sick and disgusting thing that we do to each other. food goes guarded; they will just let you starve. empty homes go guarded; they will just let you freeze. medicine goes guarded; they will just let you die.
it doesn't have to be this way. we don't have to do this to each other. i can't understand why we do.
@garbados the only reason that food/house/medicine was created in the first place was to make money for the owner of the means of production, from whoever needed it.
Giving it away for free would make less money.
There are some of us who would rather do everything for free, while having our other needs provided for, but it only works if a critical economic mass does it (otherwise the ones who do quickly die of poverty). In the meantime it is very difficult to make that switch.
