Money 2

Once I had a discussion with dear Aliph about socialism vs capitalism. One thing I will remember the notion that the suffering of the proletariat under capitalist system is collateral damage. Let me tell you this, it's intentional. Those poor labourer suffer because the company wants to make the most money with the least amount of capital. Apple and many other company make factories in China because the labor so cheap that it could hardly brings the labourer out of poverty and there no such thing as labour law there. The workers paid so little and the work hazard is so high. The big company doesn't care about their workers health unless it create controversies. Capitalist come so close at making these people their slaves.

I remember watching a TV show. I'm not what it was really all about, but it left lasting impression in my memory. A worker in tuna factory in Indonesia, preparing tuna in the can we buy off the shelves were paid 1 hour of minimum wage in Britain for a day's work. The worker, a lady with a family to feed, work so hard, live away from the family and taking the cheap snacks that most Malaysian won't hardly look as a great luxuries that she cried when someone treat her some snacks and chocolate. The British that were in the show saying something about willing to pay more for the tuna knowing that the money will go to people like the Indonesian lady. I say yes to that and the company should increase the workers pay and improve the working condition. Stop hogging all the profits. Spread the money.

Money

Honestly, I don't like money. Don't get me wrong. It's not that I want to be poor. It's only that I wish, humanity is not so closely bound to money that almost everyone worshiping it. I hate the fact that what we call money these days is only piece of paper. The money in our pocket have no value without the government that manufactured it. The moment the government collapse, the paper lost its value and ceased to become what we called money.


To add salt to injury, or shall I say flame to the hatred. I hate how this world economy powered by those darn capitalist. It's sickening to see how the bourgeois greedily pocketing the riches and the proletariat getting poorer day by day. It's sickening to see the people being told to buy something they don't need, with the money they don't have, to please people they don't like just because the society pressuring them to do so. And the society was pressured to do so by that darn capitalist. Demands are created for things not needed. Trends created to keep the demand coming. This sicken me so much that I feel like puking each time I think about.
