"Profit" is not a dirty word, nor is it wrong to make a profit. It’s the motivation to do things that are necessary, but that you might not choose to do otherwise.
I ran across a dumb "meme" from a communist that said, "The only reason people go hungry... It's because food is grown to make profit instead of feeding people."
Yeah, commies don't understand how things work. It's why they are communists.
Profit from growing food? The horrors! But, that profit is the incentive that gets the farmer to make the effort to grow more food than his family needs. He works more so that others can eat; to feed many others!
Growing food in quantity isn't a cheap endeavor. When I was a kid, I was amazed to find out just how much money went through my farmer relatives' hands- it didn't make them rich because they didn't keep it, but it was a huge amount that they took in and sent right back out to keep the farm going. That's capitalism in action.
This is why communism always results in starvation, sooner or later. And why the profit motive has reduced poverty and hunger to the lowest levels since humans made the agriculture mistake.
Commies prefer slavery, where people are forced to work, then hand their goods to others in exchange for what government believes is their "fair share" (after the parasitic government takes its prime cut). It never works. It isn't compassionate. It results in mass starvation, every time it is tried, so the lie that "The only reason people go hungry..." doesn't work for them. Communism results in far more hunger.
And it requires a police state to make sure no one "profits" and tries to keep their family alive "unfairly". Communism is barbaric.
I saw another post by an ignoramus (or maybe a troll) saying that farmers would be replaced by UberEats within 3 years. But why would someone go to the effort of delivering food and putting that wear and tear on their car and use the fuel, if they didn't get some profit to help support themselves? Even if food appeared by magic somewhere along the supply chain (which isn't a chain, but a cobweb) without anyone actually producing it, someone has to prepare it and deliver it. Or, maybe urbanites believe food appears in the delivery vehicle for no reason at all, other than that they ordered it.
Even if everything were free, you'd have to incentivize people to work to provide "everything". Unless you can find a way that playing video games or watching TikTok somehow powers robots that do all the work- but who's going to bother to invent, program, and manufacture those robots if they don't get anything extra from it? It doesn't work like that.
Profit isn't poison, it's the fuel that powers humans to do things they might not do otherwise.
Communists fail because they are lazy, ignorant slavers who refuse to accept reality and who don't understand human motivation.
Donations would be appreciated at this time
