In theory, this sounds like a good idea. Everyone has their own place to be. But when it comes down to the nitty-gritty of capitalism, it doesn’t seem to be so great; it keeps the…

free to decide, as it is the economy of minimum scarcity. For Karl Marx, Capitalism is essentially different from other modes of production primarily because it is based on unequal private ownership of the means of production. It was this inequality that Marx emphasizes as the core of Capitalism. Capitalism, rather than a system of income and power, is mainly a system of market anarchy.

However, an identity for transgender women was never established outside of the traditional female archetypes that support the perpetuation of Capitalism. Dozens of transgender women, especially transgender women of color, have been murdered in the past year.

instability in socialist countries. This harms the development of the countries, and it also helps explain why many capitalist countries are secure, such as the United States and Canada.

Mexico. Not only has the United States suffered with globalization but so has the third world. The factory type jobs that are being relocated to third world countries, are nothing but modern day slavery, and actually hurt the people in the countries.
