It is of lowest quality (immoral in MoQ context) because it is fundamentally based on low quality inorganic-social value. It is based on exploitative relations of production, - ownership of the means of production by a capitalist class at the expense of toiling peoples whose surplus value is stolen by the capitalist class. I am not against making reasonable profit in business, the the unreasonable profit of the capitalist class, specially the monopoly capitalist class, is sickening, specially so when used to exploit and oppress the third world and promote monopoly capitalist globalization. So Pirsigians, unite! Down with the pretense. I believe people have a sense Quality to come up with viable alternatives to capitalism Let us not allow high qaulity social-intellectual values (and there are such) to be pulled down to the level of inorganic-social values of capitalism. Capitalism has served its historical purpose in crushing feudalism and improving life up to a point. It must now give way to an alternative that is truly democratic, just, humane for our time. People, workers,should not be treated as inorganic cogs in a machine. >It doesn't seem to be a problem tho, the whole world so invested in the system that they seem perfectly content to continue to pretend that the us dollar means anything at all...
