I have a little shocker entry for you.
prostitute:
- a woman who offers her body for hire for purposes of sexual intercourse
- one who offers his service solely for financial gain or for unworthy purposes
- syn. defame, defile, maltreat, pervert
Notice that by that very definition, it is implied that to solely seek financial gain is an unworthy purpose.
capitalism
- an economic system in which the means of production and distribution are for the most part privately owned and operated for private profit (which is to say, only for financial gain)
Can you add 1 and 1 ?
A capitalist is a prostitute. A prostitute is a capitalist. Prostitution = capitalism. Capitalism = prostitution.
If you take a look at the synonyms of the word prostitute, you will find a perfect description of the unwritten operating principles of capitalism.
defame:
- attack the good name or reputation
A common capitalist practice aimed at competitors or anyone who is perceived as a a threat to the bottom line, especially those who sound the alarm trying to get people to recognize the destructive practices of industries. Very often displayed by candidates seeking to be elected to a governmental job.
defile:
- to make dirty or foul
- corrupt purity
Another common practice of capitalists, whose industries pollute rivers, air, food, minds, and hearts with complete disregard for anything but the bottom line. Hint: if they actually cared about the environment or people's health and well being they wouldn't be polluting in the first place. So don't be fooled by their 'environmental' campaigns, 'noble' mission statements, or number of 'volunteer' hours.
maltreat:
- to treat badly, unkindly
- abuse
This is just a description of how capitalists treat workers.
pervert:
- to turn to an improper use or purpose
- lead astray, deprave, debase, sexual perversion
Another good definition of what capitalism does to people and environment. Capitalists have no qualms about misusing natural resources, leading people astray into such things as debt and depravity, and using sexual perversion in their ads to increase sales.
... and just to think that not so long ago, I used to be a proud prostitute... I mean capitalist with parents who felt proud about the education they gave me and the financial gain that resulted from it...
