Communism and the Left

[FireIceTalon]

Ironically, this is the very reason why our capitalist society does so well

If 60 mill+ people dying through starvation alone every 5 years (along with every other social ill directly linked and rooted in capitalist social relations - they are too many to list here) is your idea of doing "so well", then perhaps a serious re-examination of your atrociously low standards is in order.

because that’s the natural order of things.

This is easily disproven through a simple historical observation and an anthropological investigation. It is anything but that. Modern humans have existed anywhere between 100,000-150,000 years. Capitalism has existed a mere 3xx years, the blink of an eye in our time here. If capitalism were the natural order of things it would have been here from day 1, and likely we would have gone extinct long ago. No, the capitalist organization of society is about as unnatural as it gets as far as the human condition is concerned.

The whole 'natural order of things' has been used as an excuse by the ruling classes throughout history to justify their oppression and power over everyone else, but it has no scientific backing. I'm sure masters in slave society thought that was the natural order of things, and that monarchs and their right to rule by 'Divine Right Absolutism' were the natural order of things as well - they were wrong, just as the capitalists in our society are today when they try to use the same rationale.
