Capitalism although seen by
many as a revolution in economic system. But since its inception and
its development it has created a lot of problems for the people.
Firstly let us go through some fundamental aspects of this system .
It calls for free markets with hardly any government
intervention,keeping the minimum wage for workers ,ownership of
private property rights etc.
What has capitalism created
for us in the form of inequity and accumulation lot of wealth in
hands of very few. One of the biggest protest that was carried out
about the inherent flaws in the capitalism was the Occupy Wall Street
Movement.
It was about how it
capitalism has created this class system which places one above the
other. It has made the 1 percent have more weightage in the affairs
of the country and shaping the every day lives of the people than the
rest 99 percent.It is the critique of capitalism.We are living in the
world where big corporation has all the authority in the world . They
have the ability to control ,manipulate our lives and they are doing
so. These giant industries are controlling our politicians,our law
makers and in some cases our judges.One of the main emphasis was on
the inquisition of how come increasing wages for the workers is not
helpful for anybody. The wage laws that capitalism has to offer has
no place for the under paid of the community. All people want is good
food,health,good paying job and beautiful house to stay. With demand
of a system that where these basic requirements of life are
available in a proportion to all.
Occupy Wall Street movement is a wake up call for the world people
who are fans of capitalism and are working for its propagation and
penetration into world economy. They have to see the and reevaluate
their standing on many issues that Occupy Wall Street movement has
pointed towards. There need to be a massive program for the
redistribution of wealth with in an economy. Otherwise these
protesters that are using their democratic right to protest may one
day turn upon and rebel ,destroy the thriving 'free enterprise' and
establish what communism called the 'dictatorship of proletariat'.
