What are some arguments against capitalism? I'm especially

Capitalism is an emergent phenomenon. You can't argue "against" it any more than you can argue against heat or OP sucking dicks.

Infinite growth isn't sustainable, but in capitalistic system everybody motivated by it.

how does an infinite growth market work in a finite resource reality

Culturally, one of the biggest lies is that capitalism is conservative. Capitalism always has been, and probably always will be an intrinsically revolutionary system that uproots and destroys everything in its path, including any values of culture, meaning and human dignity. Joseph Schumpeter explored this extensively, and this is possibly the only thing that Marx got completely right

There are no good arguments against it. Capitalism is the only just economic system.

No it isn't. Capitalism is anti-mercantilism, both of which require law and order to protect the social construct of absentee property, and both of them are in contrast to simple barter trade economies.

Capitalism is conservative in contrast to socialism.

Moneyless barter economies are the only just economic system

>>1757972
> barter economies
It is pain in the ass to use barter, so people prefer slightly more unfair money to that shit.

>>1757899
Economic illiteracy should be ban-worthy.

>>1757989
You can't be literate in economics like you can't be literate in alchemy and astrology.

>>1757989
Accusing others of economic illiteracy without any attempt at edification should be ban-worthy. :^)

If pain in the ass is the metric by which capitalism is just of naturalistic, then pain in the ass is the metric by which alternative systems can be judged.

It creates excess waste products that will eventually deplete the resources needed to maintain the system itself.

Also, it destroys culture because many cultures are opposed to capitalism fundamentally. I mean Christianity had to be completely reformed in order for it to even take off.

Look at American "culture" today. Everything is centered around material goods, and other facets of society that only exist to produce capital.

It isn't dependent on ininite growth, shareholders are more than happy to spend their dividends on luxuries if they cannot find any good investments.

It has been around for a long time, it is just that in the present era it has superceded mere extortion. Most cultural changes can be attributed to technology and prosperity and complacency among the masses.

Money is a useful medium of exchange. If A wants something from B but A has nothing B wants, A can sell something to C for money and use the money to buy something from B. Goods go directly from producer to consumer.

Money is a service like any other, like Stock and Shipping in a business which assesses risks and figures out how much is worth keeping in stock, how often to order deliveries, who is offering the best deals and does all this efficiently and competitively. All this saves truck fuel and is as economically beneficial as producing commodities.

You would not complain about the salary you must pay the person responsible for Stock and Shipping or consider it unjust, neither is it unjust for a bank that issues currency to profit from doing so if people favor it above barter.

There are various reasons for this, vacant homes in locations with few homeless and vice versa, security concerns, the cost of providing gas, water and electricity to unsold homes plus minimum standards for residents means the homeless can't afford it, mental illness and drug addiction among the homeless.

One is an anti-capitalist caricature, the other is a racist caricature. Communism and fascism have a lot in common, but capitalists are less sensitive to criticism so I do not consider this caricature bigotry, in fact I think we should co-opt it as it is kind of cute.

>It isn't dependent on ininite growth

Wrong. Capitalism developed around the same time as the academic study of Economics and they heavily influenced one another, particularly the false axiom that formed the bedrock of both ideas is the concept that resources are infinite and that through the competitive and optimizing forces of the market would create infinite economic growth.

>Money is a useful medium of exchange.
I think you missed the point.

>>1758017
How is this not a fantastic thing.
It indicates that there are few homeless people.
there are few homeless people because of capitalism.

>I'm especially interested in hearing ones that look at the cultural consequences of capitalism

Read about commodity fetishism and its developments from the Frankfurt School.

Also, the book History and Class Consciousness from Lukács and some writings of Gramsci are pretty good for this too.

4chan is not a good way to get some knowledge, go read something.
