The point of this thread didn't even feel the breeze when you missed it!

Nothing here is anti-capatalist (calling Force anti-capatalist is even a bit hilarious!)

Nobody is disagreeing that people has to have something to work for, but then you say the good of some one else is not something to work for. Sorry, but if that is what I WANT to work for, and if that is what makes me happy, then why not? Nobody here talked about a type of communism where every one is forced to do this.

And the point, as I understood it, is not that capatalism is bad, but how sad this world of consumarism has become, where people no longer look for happiness in human relationships, in families, in intelectual or physical persuits, but in material possesion. When happiness is measured in how much, what brand etc. I own, then I still feel we live in a sad sad world. These things never make you happy, and anyway, in two months, there is a smiling blond or sport star, telling you that phone, watch whatever can no longer make you happy, but the new Model X4592B Super-phone can!

Itis the emptiness of it all that makes me sad
