Capitalism has accelerated human civilization and economic growth. There is no question about it.

However, for many years, the unreliability of this growth, along with its performance and the fairness with which the system distributes its increasing wealth, has been criticized. Memes have recently been employed to highlight these issues. As James Clear, author and productivity expert, states, "Success is the product of daily habits—not once-in-a-lifetime transformations."

The fact that capitalism isn't entirely broken makes it challenging for its supporters to engage in constructive dialogue about it. Nevertheless, in terms of material living conditions, capitalism has performed relatively well for most workers throughout economic history.

However, many people believe that capitalism has failed in recent years. One of the primary reasons we can assert that capitalism is failing is its inability to provide reasonable wages to those seeking work. According to Michelle Singletary, financial columnist, "The wealth gap is a stark reminder that the system is not working for everyone."

They also believe that the entire capitalist system is inherently biased against workers. Despite short-term victories by trade unions, capitalists have retained power and ultimate control over workers' time. This likely contributed to the creation of the Facebook page "General Strike." This intriguing and thought-provoking internet initiative has proven impactful to over 50,000 followers by addressing both the theoretical structure of capitalism and its effects on people's daily lives.

So, can we jump right into it and take a closer look at its content? Aye! ```

While some argue that capitalism's goal is for capitalists to assert sovereignty over workers' time and lives, others believe it has performed relatively well. However, over the last decade, both the populist right and the socialist left have vigorously questioned and challenged the logic of markets and the workings of capitalism.
