Today my dad, who is an unapologetic pro-capitalist (and also extremely racist and sexist), went on one of his political rants. Most of the time I just roll my eyes when he does this, but this time he said something truly horrifying and outright evil, but also at the same time, absolutely conducive to the capitalist system and its internal logic. We were talking about the problems of a particular piece of software that we use, and he was complaining about how much he hated it (but it forced to use for this specific situation) - not a big deal, because most of his gripes on the software itself are legitimate.
But he suddenly went on this crazy rant, saying that if he was the CEO or lead developer of this particular piece of software, that the entire development team would be fired, and that he hoped after he fired them that their kids would starve to death. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. He further stated, "Thats my world, and I dont give a fuck what anyone thinks - if you cant work as hard as me or think like me you deserve to starve". To me, it really just demonstrates how morally bankrupt and sociopathic capitalists and their apologists are, as well as confirming everything I've said here to be true - that profits supersede human need under the prevailing social order. His little rant today only further reinforced exactly why I am an unapologetic communist and that any defense of the present order is a completely UNTENABLE position, on any level. My reply to him: "If that's your world, it fucking sucks ass, and needs to be destroyed ASAP, with every capitalist and bureaucrat hung by their entrails".
"Every anti-communist is a dog" -- Jean-Paul Sartre
He almost hit the nail on the head with that statement, but I'd replace "dog" with either "mosquito", "rat", or "leech". Dogs are too nice of an animal to describe any capitalist.
