Quote by: christibe  Doesn't the theory of capitalism actually require lack, which requires unemployment, which requires suffering? |
Lack
exists. That's simply reality. Capitalism doesn't require it; capitalism and all other systems find it already there.
Lack does not "require" unemployment. Quite the contrary, if there was no lack there would be 100% unemployment. The point of employment is to relieve lack. Capitalism maximizes efficiency of employment and thus minimizes lack, which in turn minimizes suffering caused by lack.

But, what does this have to do with the topic?

Nothing. On the other hand, the topic seems to have been created by a misunderstanding in the first place so I don't feel too bad about responding to a point made off topic.
