Every time I see a right winger talk about capitalism and specifically about how capitalism affects poor people I see the same shit. "You have to work hard and pull yourself up by your bootstraps" but by telling this to some poor person what are doing is just re-enforcing the reason why they hate capitalism.
You see, you are correct. Those poor people do have to work really hard. Heck, maybe they even SHOULD work really hard. But then when they look at the upper class they see who really makes the most money. Those making the most money are not the hardest workers. The people who are right now at the top of the world are the kids of the powerful people of the previous generation. They are literally just a bunch of rich kids who got a really fancy education and then inherited literal empires.
Do you call that hard work? Heck, I wouldn't even call it work.
And that is the problem. People who support communism see this and think "Why should I do what these people never did. These people did not earn their wealth, they were born into it. If it is morally right for them to be born in wealth while I suffer in poverty, then there must be no difference if the roles were reversed. If they were poor and I was a rich. So why don't I just overthrow their entire system, fuck them, and get all their money? It is what they did to me, after all."
And that is the real problem. I think if we set up a society in where no one inherits power and everyone has to start at the same level, then no one would complain about capitalism. People would look at the top and see the hardest workers of our society. The most moral, the brightest, the quickest, the wisest.
But in our current society we look at the top and who do we see? Corrupt businessmen who made their wealth by inheriting money from their parents and then bought the banks and scammed the middle class. Retarded rappers talking about drugs, promiscuity and other cancer. etc.
