Anti-capitalism itself is a conspiracy against progress.

If you have no resources/money/energy/influence you have nothing to give, nothing positive to contribute.

For sure Im trying to pull a disinformation operation as some have already implied.

I just want to know why you spend your time reading, posting to, and moderating a conspiracy theory message board.
Why do you come here to make baseless, incendiary threads like this?

Rather than money being the cause of poverty, wouldnt you think education (lack thereof) is the cause of poverty?

Point out which part of the OP is baseless, which part was not referenced.

I've worked for everything I ever had.
I am a self made man, I had no mentors...
But over time I have come to understand that I am lucky to be as strong as I am...I didn't decide to have a difficult time so that it would make me stronger, it just happened.
Capitalism is a system that PUNISHES people severely for the inadequacies of their parents but REWARDS people for the evils of their parents.
The problem is that money creates more money and we are all born with nothing...
The free market is great in some ways, but we need to protect the environment and we need to protect the weak, because the system won't do it naturally...
A very powerful person can make many people's lives much worse just for the chance of making his life a little better.
Again, I don't blame capitalism, I blame the individual decisions of people to create negativity for power. The problem with capitalism is it rewards power with power.
