- So I think
- I think we all play this game
- the game of who has the highest quality of life
- the most productive high quality contentful life
- and right now
- we have these two competing ideas about this game
- how to set up the perfect version of this game
- with the least amount of disadvantage
- basically how do we make all starting points equal so that the game is unbiased against anyone
- so basically capitalism is a version that is unequal
- its biased against some groups of people
- so those people will always win
- whereas everyone else will only sometimes win
- in communism it's viewed that like all starting points are equal
- so everyone will always win
- because there will be a certain threshold that is like once you reach this point you have a contentful life
- and basically everyone always reaches that threshold
- some people go really far from that threshold but everyone is still past the threshold
- everyone wins
- its supposedly the most fair version of this game
- whereas in capitalism there are some people who know how to abuse the system
- only some people
- because the game is flawed and they basically found like a hack
- its a loophole in the rules
- so they can always win and they know they can always win
- and dont tell help anyone else do it
- then there are people who don't know you can always win
- and if they did know they wouldn't know how to do it
- so its like they're playing the game naively without knowing anyone cheats
- then you have a lot of people who are aware that there is a way to always win
- but they dont know how to do the hack
- so to them they're playing a game that is designed, from their perspective, to fuck them over
- so its an uneven system
- but its not so bad of an uneven system so that it cant function
- like its still a winnable game
- you can still get to that threshold of contentfulness even when you know you're disadvantaged and dont know how to do the hack
- so since its still winnable that means like society doesnt completely collapse under capitalism
- just fluctuates between almost collapse and almost utopia
- but usually landing in between
- basically you're fucked
