### Central Tenets

We, the workers, bear the weight of capitalism's flawed central tenets. This economic system, touted as a beacon of freedom and opportunity, reveals its true colors upon closer examination.

Capitalism - an economic system touted as a beacon of freedom and opportunity, reveals its true colors upon closer examination. The system is inherently and deeply flawed, and we, the workers, bear the weight of capitalism's flawed central tenets.
|
||||
<b>Private Ownership of the Means of Production:</b> Our collective labor powers the wheels of production, yet the means of production—land, factories, and machinery—remain in the hands of a privileged few. This concentration of ownership creates an insidious power imbalance, where decisions affecting our lives are made by those who prioritize their own interests. The consequences ripple through society, as wealth and resources flow to the privileged few rather than being shared for the well-being of all.
|
||||
<b>Exploitation of Labor:</b> We, the workers, toil day in and day out, driven by the need to survive. However, under capitalism's rule, our labor is undervalued. The capitalist class profits by extracting the surplus value we create, leaving us with meager compensation for our efforts. This exploitation deepens economic disparities and disconnects us from the fruits of our labor, as we are relegated to mere cogs in the capitalist machine.
|
||||
<b>The Pursuit of Profit:</b> In the capitalist framework, profit reigns supreme. Our well-being, the health of our communities, and the environment take a backseat to the relentless pursuit of wealth accumulation. Wages are suppressed, working conditions deteriorate, and natural resources are depleted without regard for sustainability whenever possible.
