Unless you are part of the socio-economic elite I cant understand why you are in such support of an exploitative system that at its heart is against you and your classes interest.

I am very much middle, if not lower-middle. I like where I am, I love my country, and I love that I had the freedom to be on my own. I love that I had choices to start a few companies in college while working a "wage slave" job and going to school, which gave me the freedom I have today.

What system do you support? Does it exist anywhere in the world?

I would advocate a communist system. And no not the evil communism that has been propagated by the powers that be. True communism; of which has never been fully realized as an economic system.

According to Marx and his theory of historical materialism, communism is the last and final stage in an evolutionary process towards a free stateless, classless, and propertylessness society.

Primitive Communism > Slave society > Feudalism > Capitalism > Socialism > Communism

In capitalism, the profit motive rules and people, freed from serfdom, work for the capitalists for wages. The capitalist class are free to spread their laissez faire practices around the world. In the capitalist-controlled parliament, laws are made to protect wealth.

But according to Marx, capitalism, like slave society and feudalism, also has critical failings inner contradictions which will lead to its downfall. The working class, to which the capitalist class gave birth in order to produce commodities and profits, is the "grave digger" of capitalism. The worker is not paid the full value of what he or she produces. The rest is surplus value the capitalist's profit, which Marx calls the "unpaid labour of the working class." The capitalists are forced by competition to attempt to drive down the wages of the working class to increase their profits, and this creates conflict between the classes, and gives rise to the development of class consciousness in the working class. The working class, through trade union and other struggles, becomes conscious of itself as an exploited class.

In the view of classical Marxism, the struggles of the working class against the attacks of the capitalist class lead the working class to establish its own collective control over production the basis of socialist society. Marx believed that capitalism always leads to monopolies and leads the people to poverty; yet the fewer the restrictions on the free market, (e.g. from the state and trade unions) the sooner it finds itself in crisis.

What do you think? Pretty crazy how relevant and accurate his writings are still to this day, considering they were written well over 100 years ago.

Coincidentally I believe bitcoin technology will help in this evolutionary process towards a more egalitarian society
