You know your a Capitolist...

You know you’re a capitalist society when you lock up prostitutes but someone makes a fuck film and it’s a legitimate job. Making money is the only thing that matters in America. Even the most spiritually minded people seek riches, fame and power. America doesn’t have Buddhists, monks or meditators. You have to leave the US to find anyone whose dream life doesn’t involve wealth, fame or power or all these things at once. In America we are all taught the value of working hard to make money and maybe if you work hard enough and do what you can to support that consumer culture you can be rich and famous and powerful.  

You know you’re a capitalist society when weed is illegal because if it were legal there would only be one major market for it instead the two when it is legal and illegal at the same time. Cops make money off the stolen drugs and by taking the people with it to jail.  

You know you’re a capitalist society when cigarettes and cars are legal but weed and prostitution are illegal. How many people die from weed and prostitution every year? I think prostitutes get raped because it is illegal.  If it were legal then prostitutes could call the police or defend themselves or create communities and systems for safety and society could discuss behaviors that reduce the risks.
