re: #1004 Obdicut

That is what Iossarian is saying, though. He’s pointing out that capitalism has an incentive to cut corners built into it. It is actually built on the idea of cutting corners— efficiency being promoted— and the incentive to do so is built into the very framework of capitalism without regard for human life or suffering. Like I said, this is why we always need to ameliorate capitalism with our societal values. It can be easily demonstrated that unrestrained capitalism leads to things like the Lowell Mills, sweatshops, and the murder of labor organizers.

nothing to disagree with there. that’s still quite different than saying it’s like a dude who wants to kill me because his god and his church leaders told him to.
