    I’ve experienced both and yeah, agreed. Labour rights and good wellbeing >>>> a fat stack of money. Money can’t buy everything. Even in a capitalist society wellbeing is also possible without money - have a community garden, and a gift network with a give-it-forward system, for example.

    Sure, in a capitalist system, if you ignore other options like the above, a little bit is needed - and if you have a ton of money you could never work again, but you’ll also be too stressed to enjoy it - cause the only way to get there without being born rich, is tax evasion and stressworking yourself to death. And it costs far more to support a police force than to just abolish capitalism.
