Anyways i might check back in to see if anyone seriously wants to try and show how corporations or capitalism are evil. please defend sweatshops If you think sweatshops are a defining feature of capitalism you misunderstand what capitalism is. Alternatives such as communism or socialism could just as easily have these same things, in some cases they could be worse. At least in a capitalist society workers theoretically could work somewhere else (yes I know that in practical conditions that isn't the case). In a communist society the same thing could easily happen, and in that case you wouldn't have a choice. Additionally you are blaming capitalism or corporations for this, when really both of those things are just tools. What you really should be blaming are the people making those decisions. Yes capitalism lets people in power and people with influence make shitty choices, but that is in the case in basically every alternative as well. Additionally I am not arguing for unrestricted capitalism, I am all for government regulations to a degree for protections against this stuff. Basically capitalism is not evil because it is basically a tool. A tool can not be good or evil, merely the user of the tool can be good or evil. People have used capitalism to do good things for the world, such as advancing technology including healthcare by figuring out how to mass produce it and make it accessible. People building up great wealth and using it to give back to the world such as Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, all the while creating large numbers of jobs. People have also used it to do shitty things but a lot of those shitty things would have happened regardless. If you really think society would have progressed as far as it would have without capitalism, I don't know what to tell you. If you think some examples of bad things it does makes it inherently evil I don't know what to tell you. --- DPOblivion beat us all. <cite>Colegreen_c12 posted [p:929601582] in Chick-Fil-...
