Sunday philosophy topic: What is fair and what is not – Common sense rarely rule

Capitalism can be as bad as Communism, it all boils down to common sense. Now the human race often don’t use common sense at all. It’s against its nature when it comes to money in their own pocket.

This movie attached is about the Waltons family: Wal-Mart, but it can easily be applied to any capitalist or Communist power-hungry leader in any country. Political or non-political. Which equals Power and control. Just look at any Swedish international company. H&M new factories at the african horn for instance. Said to work for people fair wages, but is it really? Its of course relative..

Common sense as a company owner would be to pay people fair wages, but common sense rarely rules, and share holders are purely into the growing & stock piling making. What rules is in making as much money as possible before people say a definite: Enough is enough. In the case of Wal-MArt and it´s equivalents regarding ”Enough is enough” could be to go to your local store on the street and buy from them. Supporting the local business. And buy from companies that truly and not only on paper, support manufacturing companies employees fair wages. Communism and Captalism both loves monopoly. And monopoly is very rarely Democracy and freedom.

And remember, companies and politicians don´t create jobs. When it comes to companies not creating jobs, is because companies inner soul and reason to excist, is to make money. If that means employing people, it can also mean sacking people. People in common and politicians duty is therefore to see to that people are being respected fairly at the very least.

It´s a sunday, and I felt philosphical.
