We live in a strange version of modernity. People idolize billionaires and gush about their lifestyles on social media. Those same billionaires are preparing to leave us all behind here on our good ol’ Earth and fly off to live on Mars. Kids want to be Twitch streamers or TikTokers when they grow up. What’s the common thread between all these problems, you ask? Capitalism, of course!
The Instagram page Economic Left provides commentary and top-tier memes to rid you of some of that doom and gloom. Bored Panda reached out to the creator of the page to know more about the art of anti-capitalist memery. Check out these humorous posts and lull your anti-capitalist rage knowing we’re all in this together.

That is kind of hyperbolic. Anyone can call themselves a CEO. I go to goodwill and buy button down shirts and cut the buttons off to sell on eBay so I am a CEO of ButtonCo. I also scoop dog poop for my neighbor so I am CEO of PoopscoopCo. Lastly I sell pics of my feet while squishing them in said dog poop on onlyfans, so I am CEO of SquishypoopfootCo. also, elon musk is a war criminal.

Cause they got people doing all the work. And if something goes wrong, for whatever reason, they can blame an underling.
Comedy and jokes are an entertaining and effective way to convey social and political messages. George Carlin, for example, is still equally revered and criticized for some of his politically incorrect stand-up routines. On the internet, where ideas have the potential to spread like wildfire, funny can be used for activism as well.
The author behind the "Economic Left" Instagram account agrees: “Memes are wonderful because you can actually pack an immense amount of information in them which is imparted in an incredibly short amount of time.”

Where that 80-100 million figure came from? I always though native population were way less than that, and hardly reach over 1 million for hunter gatherer.
irishleo8371 2 years ago
Don't have the citation in front of me, but the estimated indigenous population of what we now call North America in the early 1600s is estimated to have been approximately 100 million. And as far as hunter-gatherer, what arriving Europeans actually found were settled, organized, agricultural societies. In fact, in anthropological terms, even the weird tribe is insufficient. The only term that describes these societies is nation. By the mid-1700s, the indigenous population had (intentionally) been reduced to between 10 and 20 million

Some rich people looking down on the working class and asking why people don't just "pull them up by the bootstraps" and get more money, should definitely get big taxes. If it's so easy to earn money and get rich, that everyone can succeed if they "just try harder" and "nobody wants to work anymore" just give your money away, throw away phone numbers, connections and fancy/expensive degrees/education, and prove to the masses how easy it is. 👍 That will teach all those deadbeats using money for rent, food and probably avocado toast. /s

To accomplish....what with? The US government spent 4.9 trillion on covid. The combined wealth of ALL the US billionaires is around 4.5 trillion (most of which is tied up in stocks, and thus not able to be fully appreciated) Those "stimulus" checks, that everyone was just, so very grateful for? $3200? That works out to $1 trillion. $4.5 trillion would fund US health care for 14.5 months. Split evenly across the entire US population? One time payment of $13,000. Comparatively, "ending" homelessness would cost $20 billion a year, levied as a tax, applicable to EVERYONE, would cost $0.23 per person per day, or $83 per person per year. "Free" state university for everyone? $70 billion a year, as a tax, applied to everyone, that's $0.90 per person per day, or $328.50 per person per year. To ensure a roof and education for everyone would cost $1.13 per person, per day.....downright achievable....yet so many people put time and energy into parroting this nonsense.

Not necessarily. They are remote workers who live in a country where the dollar is stronger than their home currency. They make less USD, but live well in their home country. If I worked my current job remotely from Mexico, I would live like the upper class do there making a normal person's salary here. If I made half of what I do, I would still live the same quality of life I do in the U.S., but in Mexico.
JB 2 years ago
This is a fair point. If one is only focusing on the dollar amount of what someone earns in the US compared to another doing the exact same work in a country with a significantly weaker currency, it’s easy to get outraged and shout about sweatshops. My family spent a year in Mexico for my dad’s job. He continued to be paid in £sterling, which allowed a living wage in the UK, not poor but certainly not well off. In Mexico, it converted to over $1M pesos a year, and he was earning equivalent to the highest paid executives at the company. We should really look at comparing lifestyle and purchase power to determine if people are being exploited. Nonetheless, I do think that remote workers should get benefits tailored to their needs and countries.

I heard a discussion on the radio about the horrific rental market -- low supply, high rents -- and the 'expert' said that one of the answers was that there was a housing shortage and we needed to build more houses for rental. If so many rich people have vacation houses and so many people have properties to Air BnB, there is no shortage; there is only a problem with distribution. Also, he said that one reason for the high rents was landlords needed to compensate for increasing mortgage rates. So, in other words, the landlords profiting off of their tenants do not even own product they are overselling to their customers. So, maybe that is another thing to question.
Gin 2 years ago
Exactly. Even outside of the air BnB and holiday property market there are 600,000 properties in the UK that are empty for one reason or another. Yet there is building on green belts and insufficient urban regeneration because it's more expensive. Landlords shouldn't be making their renters pay their mortgage either - renting needs caps and if their mortgage goes above it, tough.

Whilst it seems like a good idea for house prices to fall, it would be a disaster for the economy. A drop of more than a few percentage points is enough to drive a recession. People seem to think that it would be a good thing if prices fell by tens of percentage points, whereas the reality is that this would tank the economy and cause hyperinflation. This would destabilise the world economy and the dollar would cease to be valued as a major currency.

I literally almost got killed once because my mother couldn't leave work on time even a single night. In January 1987, I commuted by bicycle to my M-F 6 AM shift at Burger King. I bought a car, it was registered and ready to pick up from the dealer, but I had no way to get there. My car sat on the lot for at least a week because Mom (then a manager at AT&T) couldn't leave work in time to pick me up and get to the dealer before closing. One morning I was riding my bike on the shoulder of NJ 15, in the dark and snow, when a car pulled onto the shoulder, hit me, and got back onto the highway. My bike was mangled, I was 20 minutes late to work, and I couldn't walk right for a month. I believe that, if you can't afford both the time and the money to raise children, you shouldn't have them; but then having children has never made sense to me

There was a murder in a big, well known store, in my city. A man stabbed 3 random people with a knife taken from the stores displays. This is not USA, so it was a big story. After a few weeks, the first time I felt comfortable being back I heard a staff asking another one if they had a knife. (It was close to the storage, so I guess they worked with boxes or something) But the other worker answerd by giving him the knife and follow it with "good thing I'm not a customer". And had a big laught about it. I felt so ill that I wrote to the head honcho of the company about what I've heard, what shift and so on. I also hinted that I could have just get in touch with him or the newspapers. A land spanning newsstory like that would put every store of theirs on blast. The CEO was on vacation but then sent a heartfelt apologising mail that he would talk to the staff and really lay it into them....

I'm 100% behind the stupidity of banks for doing this. Just because they don't have a mechanism in place to STOP the transaction from taking more money from THEM in time, they punish the individual. The individual puts funds into the account; they are not the one holding the funds and allowing the funds to leave their grasp; the bank is. It's the bank's fault that more money went out then what that individual left with them. The bank could have a mechanism setup to where the transaction would simply be declined with no money leaving. This makes no real life sense when you place this situation in its proper place. Imagine you give me $5 to hold on to. You see something you want to buy for $8, you call me, tell me to buy it for you, and I do...and spend $3 of my own money simply because I didn't remember that only $5 in my wallet were yours. Imagine I bill you $35 plus the $3 I spent instead of telling you, "You only gave me $5. This costs $8. I can't buy it for you with your money."

The main problem seems to be that US Americans don't have easy means to experience other lifestyles. The education system does not teach how other countries are managed, the US is too big to reach another country easily, it is very expensive to go exploring elsewhere, people do not get enough off-time to do so - the combination of this discourages going to check other cultures. No iron curtain or walls necessary. The one big advantage of Europe is the ease of experiencing different countries. Contacts with clients, customers and companies across the border is just a part of everyday life of many people. This results in more openness and acceptance of new ideas. "I saw it worked in Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain, ... so why not try it here?" - is very often the beginning of implementing a good idea, and most of the several political parties our governments have, will give it a try. For the US this kind of natural adoption of new ideas is difficult, also due to the two-party system

Yeah....has nothing to with the fact that even making minimum wage you're still handing 25% of your income to the government. Compare that to the US where if you make 72,000 a year, you're only handing over 22%. We know exactly how all the places with UHC, a month of paid vacation, "free" university and months or years of maternity leave make it work. EVERYONE, pays a significant amount of tax as a baseline, and that share increases as you earn more. That's the whole f*****g game. All those things are subsidized with taxes. They are not "free" they will never be free, they will never be covered by only taxing the rich, and until everyone accepts the fact that everyone will have to contribute to funding those programs, they will never, ever, ever, ever materialize in the U.S.

And if you have 10 kids, when you die it will be enough for all of them to be set for life. If anyone wants more than that, they are a horrible person. My plan is to tax 100% of current holdings and earnings over that amount and use the money to pay down the national debt.

Well, it looked at all the emissions generated by burning fossil fuels, and attributed them to the company extracting them. 29% of ALL F*CKING EMISSIONS IN THE US ARE GENERATED FROM INDIVIDUALS DRIVING THEIR CARS, which is what makes up almost all of fossil fuel emissions. Corporations exist to make money, they continue to exist....because YOU give them your money. You don't get to pretend that you are blameless simply because someone else manufactured the means of your environmental destruction. If everyone stopped buying stuff that comes in plastic bottles, everything would go back to glass in a matter of weeks. During the pandemic, the price of a barrel of oil went NEGATIVE.

Have you ever considered the fact that the inflated wealth statistic is due to the fact that he own 10.4% of stock in the company worth $1.2 trillion?

Have you considered the fact that if people stopped buying things from them.....bezos would no longer be worth 130 billion?

Simply Google the mayor of high rate homeless cities and see which political party they are.

When Democrats hold the majority power in the nation (Senate and Presidency) and the cities they run are STILL like this, it's time to stop blaming Republicans because simply it's the "in thing" to say and do. It's time to put blame and pressure to where it's due: the crooked politicians who allow for this to happen. Ignore the party bickering and go after the source.

Musk sold his first company Zip2 and made 170 million off the sale, his next company was Paypal....the sale of which netted him billions. Explain where the unethical behavior is there. See, all the big billionaires, like Musk, Gates, Bezos and Zuck......don't actually have 100's or even 10's of billions sitting in the bank. What they have, is STOCK. In companies that are hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars. Bezos owns 10.5% of Amazon stock, when Amazon's market share hit $1 trillion, he was worth around $120 billion. When it hit TWO trillion, his "wealth" was reported as $230 billion. When Amazons lost nearly 1 trillion of "worth" earlier this year.....his "wealth" dropped to $130 billion. You want to become a billionaire? Found a company, provide products or services that attract hundreds of millions of customers....take the company public and retain a sizable amount of the stock price.

Yes, "the rich" should pay higher taxes....but so should EVERYONE ELSE. In fact, that's the reason the all the socialist utopia's (of which i've lived in one for over a decade) can afford UHC, "free" university, months or years of maternity leave, a month of paid vacation, cheap predictable public transit and infrastructure that isn't crumbling. EVERYONE hands over 30-60% of their gross income so as to subsidize all those social programs. Ending homelessness and making public universities "free" would only require that EVERYONE pay $412 a year more in taxes. $1.13 per person, per day. How about everyone fixate on that.
