Japan never had a labor movement like the west did. They have relatively little work that needs doing, but they spend a whole lot of their day signaling their loyalty to the company so they can even have a job at all. It's fucking pathetic and it's very much a sign of late stage capitalism.
South Korea is in the same boat. They've embraced a lot of modern technology to make jobs easier, but this means the competition for remaining jobs is so fierce that kids have to sacrifice their entire childhood or they're not good enough to for one of the few entry level positions.
An attempt to claim that 'capitalism has failed' and a demand for more government regulation while, ironically, pointing to issues that could only exist thanks to government regulation.
Perhaps you forgot what capitalism did in the 1920. Do you think repealing Social Security would benefit this country? Or even be possible?
Capitalism is great for growing markets. Agriculture stopped being a growth market in the early 20th century and this was choking the world economy. Returning that industry to pure capitalism would be a disaster. We're in the same situation today where there's little room for industry to grow and competition is becoming cancerous.
The simple solution would be a shorter workweek, like the very socialist 40 hour workweek we already have.
Do you think repealing Social Security would benefit this country?
Social Security is a pyramid scheme that is slowly starting to fall apart.
Or even be possible?
No, because any politician that even suggested the idea would be voted out in the next election by old people.
Capitalism is great for growing markets.
And socialism is great for markets that aren't growing... wait...
Agriculture stopped being a growth market in the early 20th century and this was choking the world economy.
You realize the STAGGERING amount of subsidies that go into agriculture, right?
We're in the same situation today where there's little room for industry to grow and competition is becoming cancerous.
The reason there is "very little room for industry to grow" because the amount of government regulations strangulates anyone out that can't afford to have everything done overseas. Regulations which, funny enough, are promoted by existing corporations.
The simple solution would be a shorter workweek, like the very socialist 40 hour workweek we already have.
No, the solution would be to start cutting back the amount of regulations. Governments mucking around in the economy is what made The Great Depression last as long as it did. It's pretty much agreed upon by histories and economists alike that the government ended up extending it. Yes, there will be some growing pains, but being able to finally run outweighs the pain of not having been able to use your legs for decades.
And they work from dawn to dusk trying to find the optimal font choice for a spreadsheet and have no time to court women. Japanese companies have some strange sense of duty to employees and will give a burned out employee a window watching job just to get him out of the way.

What's that?

Capitalism is a competition right? Eventually someone wins the competition.
