Meme has become a by-word of contemporary digital culture. And that makes sense, because when you think of it, meta-jokes allow us to communicate things in a way more complex way. Sometimes, it’s the other way around. When the subject of a conversation is fundamentally intricate, it begs for an unorthodox way to talk about things.

Like, capitalism. Many of us know how painful it may be to work late hours like there’s no tomorrow, like your family doesn’t exist, to sit by the desk without a day off, trying hard to deliver your very best daily, only to realize it’s been like this for the past decade. Here you go, I just described one of the memes in this list.

And while the capitalist society is spinning its wheels harder than ever before, with long-awaited hope of minimum wage being raised to $15 in the US, these anti-capitalist memes seem more relevant than ever. Someone's calling us overdramatic?

And to whoever is not into hard topics in life, this batch of memes speak of society and its flaws in a funny, like cringe funny, “oh my, it’s me” way. Psst! Another batch of anti-capitalist jokes can be found in our previous post here.

This is a tax credit scam. The grocery store makes a donation in their name with all the money collected and gets a tax credit.

    Try leasing poverty. Go to the laundromat instead of using your own machine, cash a check at Amscot/WU instead of at your own bank, or try some rent-to-own furniture. You'll see just how expensive it is to be poor.

    For some reason lots of people like to attack single mothers and think that because they need a bit of extra support they are a drain on society. What about all the fathers who did a runner and don't help to support their offspring. The pro-birthers don't want women to have abortions but also don't want to help support the child once it is separate human.

    To be fair, I've not got an issue with someone getting a leg up from their parents. I would do it for my kids. It's when the person being helped pulls the ladder up after them, and adopts an 'I'm alright Jack' attitude, that there is a problem.

    The thing is, though, the types of socialism that people want aren't even the opposite of capitalism. With the type of mixed economy that exists now, it is actually possible for the system to become both more socialist and more capitalist at the same time.

    We're 30 years too late on the global warming thing. I deeply apologize to all future generations and those who will live long enough to see the consequences of people dismissing recycling or mass transit as "inconvenient" in 1980 but will now cry when their beachfront rental is underwater. It wasn't me, but I apologize anyway. Some of us try. We really have tried. We will always try. But it's us vs the billions, and it's strange how people think a livable ecosystem isn't important until they're dying...
