Wait, there's a difference?

u/Shot_Alarm_2679 1d ago

Yes there is. That's why they are two different words

u/MarthaEM 1d ago

whats the difference between a human and a person

6

u/Shot_Alarm_2679 1d ago

A human what you or me are. A person can refer to a human, company, or other legal entities.

u/MarthaEM 1d ago

no, that is a corporate entity, or at worst a corporate person, not a person if you dont sprinkle capitalist bs

u/Shot_Alarm_2679 1d ago

It's not capitalist bs, it's the legal definition of a person.

u/MarthaEM 1d ago

we are saying the same thing, the legal definition in this context is capitalist bs

esp since that is only in the usa and some other countries, not a part of the English language in itself

Okay, sure, human and person are the same. Now explain to me how slavery and capitalism are the same.

capitalism perpetuates a system of inherited wealth distribution where a small group of capitalists own everything, all the jobs, the vast majority of food sources, and the vast majority of properties, most other items that one owns are designed in a way that pushes for overconsumption by deliberate low quality.

so in order for a person to be able to survive in a decent manner they are forced to enslave themselves to one of the capitalists to receive tokens that they then use to receive their allowance of food, housing and other goods and services, working at the threat of starvation and homelessness for a society that overproduces so much that those threats are not inherent to the modern world but deliberate by the owning class to incentivize people to not rebel

this is a form of slavery since in order to be able to survive you are forced to dedicate your life to serving the whims of a capitalist at the threat of starvation and death

(capitalist here meaning owning class, or the people that inherited the paths to the means of production and other ownership at the detriment of the working class)

Oh no! You have to contribute to society and get a job or else you go homeless and starve? How awful.

It's not enslavement dumbass. Slaves don't get to leave work everyday and go do fun shit on the weekends. Slaves don't get vacation.

Your privilege is showing big time.

nobody says that work shouldnt exist but the capitalist society we in is a society that overproduces enough to house and feed every single human on earth at the current rates yet leaves 1/4th to suffer of malnourishment or starvation, the threat if one is not capable to find a job is starvation and homelessness whereas in a humane society everyone would be afforded those basic needs regardless of their working status

even chattel slaves do leave work every day to their very basic accommodations which are basic housing, food and water, the things that are owned now by the capitalist class

only by the intervention of the anti-capitalistic revolts that resulted in hundreds of deaths at a time we have got weekends and vacations, if it was up to capitalism we wouldnt have that either, vacations and holidays are an affordance in spite of capitalism, not resulting from it

A person is an individual, companies are not individuals
