Capitalism is a system of thought, organization, and action. It is not of course, a product of Christian thought, but Christian thought has supported Capitalism since its rise beginning around 1700, most especially Protestantism. And to be precise, in actuality, we must say Christian thought supports only the propaganda of Capitalists, a result made possible by the naivete of the Christian mind.
Everyone should understand that the portion of Capitalist thought we address today, is in fact subterranean, not overtly spoken, or written about widely- and belongs to a kind of netherworld, where only a few, a very select few, are consciously aware. This portion of capitalist thought is dark, an outgrowth of the hardness of Nature, and the hardness Nature has created in mankind.
Humanity is a commodity. People are like Cattle, Corn, Gold, Machines, anything else that can be bought or sold, something of value to be exploited to create more value, that is more money- more wealth. The Capitalist must purchase this human commodity- and for this purchase to produce profit- the price must be right. The cheaper the price, the greater the potential profit. Of course, when speaking of humans as commodities, we mean human labor. So labor must be cheap- and the labor pool must be large for this to be the case. The population must be so large as to produce a reserve pool of labor, so that competition amongst labor occurs forcing its asking price down. Fill the world with people, lower the value of each person, make more money, create more wealth, this is the dark purpose of Capitalism.
