As everyone knows, Capitalism, or free market economy, is devoid of guarantees of fairness.
And this is dangerous in 1 way that it enables secret "trade wars" to be waged between parties, be they individuals or even nations.
Afterall, there is nothing in laws any where that can prevent one's enemies from leveraging you to pay for a higher price than they would normally charge their friends.
So, without much public declaration, "trade wars" are secretly being engaged everywhere in most part of the world.
Some we call "competition", which is valid, because they are limited to the extent of delivering better prices and products for the consumers.
While others are more destructive, in that they create addictions and dependencies.
Capitalism, or free market economy, is a sort of legalized system of voluntary slavery and servitude, with the ultimate aim of the powerful obtaining sufficient wealth and control of resources to force the not-so-powerful to succumb to material dependence.
The only redeeming quality of this system, is the possibility of the not-so-powerful becoming powerful by playing the game of Capitalism.
Sarcastically, Capitalism is based upon the inherent weakness of human beings to degenerate.
Capitalism functions, by taking social restraints away, so that the spiritually weak and hopeless, will continue to conduct self-destructive acts, while the strong may profit from these acts, and the system can collect taxes in the transaction.
It is a games of "who's the biggest loser", where the entire society is set up like a giant casino with glittering lights to lure the "losers" in to loser more and more money.
But the "losers" are quite happy while losing, being dazzled by the lights of it all.
The casino, and hence Capitalism, is in the business of making people feel good, while they lose money.
The casino is not fair, but no one is forcing anyone to gamble. That's the justification behind the game. That's the system.
That's the undeclared "trade war" between you and the casino/system.
Why? Because in this relationship, there is at least 1 clear loser, you, John Q. Public Consumer who does not own the Casino.
And the only way you can win, is if you built your own casino and got into the gaming industry yourself.
