I can understand the need for some sort of credit system for luxuries, for instance I don’t believe people are entitled to the best Playstation or gaming desktop every year, or a porche or hobby sailboat with a beachfront property as well as a home. I think one should be able to earn a life of luxury and comforts, but food? Housing? Education? The necessities to live and the opportunities to make something better for yourself and others? Some people can’t work, some people just don’t want to, I think that’s fine and they’re still entitled to a nice life, one that’s at least comfortable and enjoyable with opportunities to take should they want it.
Being anti-capitalist nowadays feels like being an atheist in the 17th-18th centuries. It’s like being an atheist except going one god further still, applying the same logic to money as you would religion. Most so-called atheists will find themselves making 17th-18th century Catholic arguments trying to defend money and “the markets” or their “economic models.”
