A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Have an upvote. Serious question (asking nicely), how does that differ from capitalism?
Capitalism doesn't really do the "to each according to his needs" part, for one
Capitalism has a driving goal of making costs of doing business zero especially labor.
Capitalism must be told that treating human beings like chattel slavery is wrong.
