Justifying Capitalism - Freedom of Choice
The most common justification used to support the status quo as Capitalism as that within Capitalism one has the Freedom of Choice. However such a freedom only exists for those that already have substantial capital as without money you can not do anything or choose anything within this world. For those without money, the dream and the promise of "You can make it as well, you just need to try really hard" is provided. Such a promise is an obvious lie. The system of Capitalism simply can not work for everyone and not even for the majority as the mathematics of money creation, debt and redistribution of the capital do not support the group, the majority - they are designed to support and work for a small minority of people - the elite that protects their position through this capital, through beliefs and promises for the masses such as the above promise of "You can make it as well".
