Right now, we are all exploited, manipulated
Opinion from the Internet about exploitation in human society:
“Constant exploitation of others”? Capitalism? socialism is absolutely nothing OTHER than constant exploitation of others. Capitalism is based on the idea of only voluntary relationships and contracts. Of course there are still criminals under capitalism as there are under every kind of system, but at least under capitalism theft, fraud, assault, murder, etc. are all illegal and there are not classes of people allowed to do those things.
I agree with you. There is no difference between the “isms", they are all designed, built by our inherently self-serving, egotistic, exploitative Human nature. Only the external clothing, the tools and names are different.
We could even say that people living in Communist countries are more aware of their situation than those living in Western societies.
At least in Communist countries, they know what restrictions they have, what they are not allowed to do.
In Western countries people believe they are free, that they actually consent to be cogwheels in the consumerist Matrix, producing, consuming goods, services they don’t need, they can’t afford. They think they vote for the politicians they want when they are incessantly brainwashed, manipulated through a propaganda machinery (including mass media, social media, entertainment industry, celebrities) that leaves Goebbels’s Nazi, and the Communist Russian propaganda in shame.
So yes, we are all exploited, we are all cogwheels in the Matrix (even the so-called elite), all blindly following our selfish egos, and we will remain so until we start to change the values, foundations our Human system is built upon.
And that starts with changing ourselves through the right education, upbringing.
