The Insidiousness of Unchecked Capitalism

[nicosgramsci]

2. These terms have a meaning though..

If socialism truly existed (China and the USSR is and was not "socialism&quot , greed wouldn't matter or exist. It comes down to eliminating the capital-labor relationship *and* abolishing private property (in other words, using property as a *social relationship* whereas one can exploit another). Personal property (a relationship between a person and a thing) is fine. Fundamentally, this is socialism. Capitalism, on the other hand, not only breeds greed, but thrives off it. Inherently, it is a system that allows for widespread exploitation.
