Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

They'll get it back. Dips are only ever temporary and markets always go up, over time. This will be true forever, until the heat death of the universe.
The implication that capitalism will be with us until the heat death of the universe is soooo depressing.
Capitalism has been with us since basically the beginning of humans if you think about it. The odds of it dying is about the same as you winning the powerball lottery 6 times in a row.
?
Capitalism is a very recent concept in human history.
Only by conflating economics and capitalism could you come to the conclusion you just did.
If you consider capitalism to be exploiting labor for profit, sure. If you consider it the relatively precise description advanced in the 17th century onward, no.
Agreed, capitalism, in it’s textbook definition form only started existing around the industrial revolution when it succeded the mercantilist status quo.
Exploiting labour for profit can happen in any economic system, in practice.
how could a government system based around money have existed long before money existed? let's think things thru before we post
Don't need currency for capitalism. There is bartering. I could start a company and pay my people in eggs bacon and cheese
capitalist realism
I think capitalism's resilience has surprised a lot of people. Although, maybe it shouldn't have. As long as capitalism is able to make some people unfathomably wealthy, there's no reason to believe it's going anywhere.
That's only true for as long as growth under capitalism is possible, and until we have access to infinite resources, infinite growth is not possible.
I suppose it will have to stop growing eventually, but who knows when that will be. I don't think anyone knows where the limits to growth are. By many estimates we are already exceeding some ecological boundaries, significantly, in some cases, yet growth continues more or less unabated. I don't expect I'll see an end to growth in my lifetime.
