<We must be clear about this issue. Capital is profit-seeking, with the aim of maximizing profits. If capital stresses morality, it can't maximize its benefits.
Marx has a wonderful exposition on this issue. Marx thought: "Capital is profit-seeking, even' drinking blood'."
"Capital is afraid of no profit or too little profit, just as nature is afraid of a vacuum. Once there is a proper profit, capital will be bold. 50% profit, desperate. For the profit of 100%, it dares to trample on all human laws. The profit is 300%, and I dare to commit any crime, even risking being hanged. "
In the process of pursuing maximum benefits, capital is wolf-like, that is, fierce, disabled, violent and ruthless. It will recklessly and madly plunder capital. Capital gains are geometric progression growth. Therefore, a capitalist can often make greater profits in a shorter period of time. At the same time, in the market competition, some capitalists stand out and become financial giants or oligarchs, thus forming a highly monopolized situation of social wealth.
In the United States, Europe and the United States and other western capitalist countries, the competition for capital is particularly fierce, thus aggravating the serious polarization. In western capitalist countries, it is a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor. If capital stresses morality, it will not aggravate polarization so seriously.
In a word, the essence of capital is profit-seeking. In order to maximize the benefits, it will be desperate and even do evil deeds that destroy human nature. It follows the jungle law of "survival of the fittest" and ruthlessly plunders the poor. Therefore, Marx and Engels discovered the cruelty of capital and pointed out the greed of capital. Marx once said: "When capital comes into this world, blood and dirty things are dripping from every pore." It provides a theoretical basis for people to understand the essential characteristics of capital. It is only self-deception to say that capital stresses morality, or it is just a fascinating soup to deceive the poor.
A: Capital is immoral. Why?
We usually say that shopping malls are like battlefields. If you can't kill the poor, you can't live a rich life.
Therefore, infighting is a life-and-death contest between the enemy and me, and infighting is a contest between your capital and our capital and interests.
It can be seen that capital itself is immoral. Even capitalists who have mastered a lot of capital are doing things behind the scenes, exploiting workers and oppressing the people under the banner of benevolence, righteousness and morality.
Morality can't be capital. It is immoral to become a capital!
