>>20881673>first, capitalism does not rely on infinite resources.In capitalism everything is gradually transmuted into a resource to be stacked in a big pile for infinite consumption. Nature itself, and man also, being reconceptualized piece by piece into mere "resources". The very notion of a resource becomes perverted.
>second, as long as there is changing consumer demand (which we assume there is because of course there is.) profits must exist."consumer demand" is so-called effective demand, demand for commodities backed by ability to pay. this is a completely irrelevant measure for socialist society, since there products aren't commodities in the first place and effective demand doesn't exist at all.
>third, capitalism is the most efficient system for resource use that we currently have.the market economy wastes gargantuan amounts of labour on efficiently producing shit like telemarketing and artillery.
