Hi, everyone.

I'm trying to clear my mind about how things work, and I've started to come to the conclusion that capitalism represents an immoral way of living. The amount of change that is needed is not within the limited borders of the capitalistic societies. So I'm searching for a better system. What do you think about everything?

I agree with you and think we need a complete change from the current exploitative, polluting and racist capitalist system.

Welcome. I agree with you and think we need a complete change from the current exploitative, polluting and racist capitalist system.
Hmm, why do you think it is racist?

Hmm, why do you think it is racist?Racism is built into the system and it is institutionalized. It may not always be very open but looking at the state of particular minority communities in capitalist societies, it should be pretty evident why they are in such a state: because the capitalist bosses want it that way. Racism is an integral part of the current society we live in. Capitalist apologists may claim that "it is against self-interest and efficiency for capitalists to be racist". But, all that is plain rhetoric and can be dismissed by looking at the evidence. The rate of incarceration of African Americans vs. European Americans is an example. The capitalist system necessarily incorporates all kinds of domination, including racism. Racism is enforced by the authorities, including parts of the capitalist class, the clergy and the state, in other words, the ruling class.

Welcome :)
Indeed, we need to end the system based on greed and profitmaking that only serves a tiny minority and is responsible for racism, poverty, mass-unemployment, crises, war, imperialism and more... Instead built a system should be built designed to provide in the needs of everyone, by everyone. Capitalist problems have socialist answers!
