    Just an inherent consequence of capitalism. If people are willing to pay much more than the price that was set by the manufacturer, it’s their loss and a business opportunity for third parties.

        So you will own nothing and be happy?

        Who will produce things without incentive as monetary gain through which they can acquire things? Noone

          That’s Capitalism, buddy. I’m advocating for Worker Ownership of their own labor, and collective ownership of the Means of Production. Personal Property is fine, but the end goal of Capitalism is everyone renting everything from a few Capitalists.

            They tried it and people just sold their shares immediately to some guy buying them all and bought vodka and cigs

            All I want nowadays is just equal opportunities to everyone to amass capital which probably would abolish inheritance first and then regulate market to protect from monopolies.

            It’s a race and war but at least make the rules fair. Then those who win they win and lose they lose but it was a fair fight
