In this capitalist world we live in now, the knowledge and ways of thinking we acquired while growing up are all influenced by capitalism. Therefore, I interpreted the question as: by understanding capitalism and objectively grasping what we assume to be natural as “properties of capitalism,” can we not have new choices or flexible thinking?
Capitalists aim to generate profit and are required to maximize profit, and compensation for workers is determined to some extent at the stage of producing value regardless of the person’s ability. It was written in many places that when I rethink about it, indeed I hadn’t questioned it much, but certainly, it might be so. It was a book that taught us: instead of just grasping the current world as it is without questioning, what kind of mechanism are we living in?
After teaching about capitalism while explaining the content of “Das Kapital”, it recommends daring to act outside that framework in this world soaked in capitalism. For example, connections with friends or conversations with neighbors that do not seek profit or return, trivial things like that.
I thought that daring to step away from the framework of capitalism might be even more important in this corona vortex where relationships with people are becoming more important. (Fluffy thought)
