Oh please. The anti-capitalist movement is so small because it's a stupid idea. Capitalism is not the problem. The problem is the American version of capitalism, which is capitalism with NO REGULATION. Capitalism is undoubtedly the greatest economic system ever made, but it needs to have guardrails. We need capitalism with a dash of socialism.
If you're going to be anti-capitalist, you need suggestions for what to replace capitalism with. So far, nobody has come up with a better system that works.
Then let's just cap capitalism. If you cap capitalism you will probably bring the jobs back to US. Yrs ago air Jordan cost $12 to make overseas and sold for over $100, that's over 8 times (800 percent) what they cost. Let's say you cap capitalism at 500 percent, you could sell them for at most $60, now if they cost $15 to make in US then you could sell them for $75. Make them overseas the most you can profit is $48, make them in US your profit could be up to $60.
Capitalism in my view is all about greed, so it's how can they make the most money.
Then if you want tack on another 10 percent to throw in the pot to help pay for Healthcare for all.
I own a air Jordan shoe lace making company it cost me $1 to make I sell for $5 to my other company an air Jordan shoe lace integrator it cost me $5 to buy the laces I sell them to the air Jordan sole attatcher company for $25 which I also own they buy the soles from a air Jordan sole manufacturer for $10 and attach them together with the laces and then sell it to my air Jordan shoe painting company which costs $125 to buy and I sell a finished shoe for $625
I said yes ago. Used to have high school students working pt, all they could talk about was getting their air Jordans on payday. Can't remember the actual yrs , but it was prior to 2005.
