  1. We must save the Empire from the evils of capitalism that is growing within.Join me and fight against this evil that will enslave us all.I've wandered through the streets of the towns and seen the filth that festers there.I've seen people take stuff that others have dropped.I've seen people buy from a cheap shop then put it in their own for a higher price, and I've seen people attempt to scam rupees to fill that greedy hole in their heart.We must stand and remember that we own our rupees and not the other way around!

  8. The extreme and fanatical forms of capitalism that we see in the Empire are indeed a bit distressing, but there is no way to really fight it.

    The only thing one can do about it is not participate in it oneself, finding better ways to relate to each other and have our needs met instead.

    I've come to find the maniacal capitalism here, mostly done by those who very likely have no idea what the word capitalism means, sort of amusing to watch in a way. It's silly, lol.

    But hey, everyone has fun in thier own way.

    And there is a place for healthy commercial relationships, for sure... so long as they are in fact healthy.

  13. Jokes away, capitalism is the base of the biggest economies in the world, its a culture that has been teached to all of us. Not much you can do against this ideologism.

  20. I don't think there's anything wrong with capitalism in EMC to be honest. I'm not supporting scamming people, but I think it adds a nice extra dimension to the game. As Dark_Liz said, the capitalism has to be "healthy", but some people enjoy it and there's nothing forcing us to join in with it.
    As to the buying items cheaply and then selling them for more, there's nothing wrong with that surely? I can understand how some people might have moral issues with it, but it's the buyer's decision if they buy the expensive version of the item... good for the more expensive seller for spotting a suitable opportunity

    yeah... but China's prettttty capitalist nowadays, economically anyway haha :p
