[QUOTE="Dragonblade, post: 7985209, member: 2804"] So lets see if I got this right. A company charges money for a product that we VOLUNTARILY purchase because we feel the value it adds to our games is worth the cost. That revenue pays the salaries of the workers and employees who create that product, so they can put food on the table for their families and pay their rents, mortgages, and bills. Yet YOU, the entitled anti-capitalist, are the one being 'exploited' because they aren't providing the product of their labor to you for free? LOL. And insert the usual faux intellectual rubbish about the 'evils' of 'consumerism', 'corporations', blah blah blah. I mean this is the fundamental hypocrisy at the heart of Marx. He need to justify the fact that he was a failed loser philosopher who produced nothing of value. So he invented a philosophy that somehow convinced workers that if they worked for free, then everything they needed would also be 'free', and thus losers like him wouldn't have to work at all. I mean my six year old can spot the fundamental flaw with this reasoning. No matter how hard you twist the math, or hide it with faux intellectual buzzwords, the product of 0 will always be 0. This is why Venezuelan people are starving to death, and why you are able to post on a gaming forum surrounded by the successful results of people being compensated for the product of their labor. In other words, capitalism is entirely the reason you have clothes to wear, food to eat, shelter over your head, a computer to post on, dice to roll, and a D&D game to play. [/QUOTE]
