Let us get the general understanding about what and

how is Capitalism..Capitalism is series of structure what make a bound between the individual and production processes.

The authority in capitalism is held by the person who own the capital. Usually we call them capital class. Capital class

will exploit the source and labour to support them in reaching the highest profit.

This system apparently has no limit and based on gaining profit intention. In capitalism, the motive for producing

goods and services is to sell them for a profit, not to satisfy people's needs.

Capitalism is the youngest economic system, but it's also proven to be the most sustainable.

When Capitalism Gone MadThe basic structure of capitalism is trying to gain as high as possible profit and there is no limit on implementing that intention, it can drive the Capital Class to become greedy.

Capitalism has been criticized for its underlying focus on profit, and how that focus can lead to social and economic inequality. Further, it is also criticized for its emphasis on consumption, as

the constant purchase of goods and services is necessary for capitalism's success.

Let me show you some examples…

SlaveryEric Williams through his book what published on 1944 - Capitalism and Slavery has succeeded to show how slavery helped finance the Industrial Revolution in England. Plantation owners, shipbuilders, and merchants connected with the slave trade accumulated vast fortunes that established banks and heavy industry in Europe and expanded the reach of capitalism worldwide. Binding an economic view of history with strong moral argument, Williams's study of the role of slavery in financing the Industrial Revolution refuted traditional ideas of economic and moral progress and firmly established the centrality of the African slave trade in European economic development.For the sake of gaining the highest profit, the greedy capital class had putted the humanity value to the bottom.

Extinction of SourcesThere is one website that shows very much how the greedy capital class rob our earth, each time, each hour, each minutes, even each seconds.Below is the website link :http://www.theworldcounts.com/counters/environmental_effect_of_mining/depletion_of_natural_resources_statisticsBelow is the screen grab of the web on April 30th, 2014 at 18:37 (Jakarta Time)

The greediness motivates the capital class to ignore the fact that we are putting our self in danger by getting more and more sources from this earth without showing respect to it and just expanding the robbery everywhere.

“In the name of saving the World

– Biofuel”

In the name of saving the world, some countries, such as America have persuated their people to use biofuel for their vehicle instead of gasoline. But let us see the fact from another world, let’s say my country – Indonesia. Deforestation is happening very badly in Indonesia only to fulfil the demands of biofuel. Please watch this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WijoFIJLAM0

The book of Heather Rogers who did her special research in Indonesia showing how ugly is the palm oil plantation in Indonesia. And her book Green Gone Wrong had open the peanut skin of how ugly is biofuel business. Picture on the top right sight of this page is the picture what was taken from one forest what was about to get deforested. If in Indonesia is this much bad, than what about the accumulated biofuel business in the world? You imagine it.

NOW what we can do?

See your around, what are the things you consume / use what can motivate those capitalist class to continue robbing and how to stop that. This small thing is effective to stop the robbery.

Example : Around me there are :1. Motorcyle – then I started to use bicycle to go to work and some other places.

Or I committed to use public transportation instead of personal transportation.

2. Drinking Water in Bottle - I tried to avoid drinking water in bottle packaging because it will less the production of bottle plastic what can cause damage for nature.

3. As a girl I love clothe, make up, etc. But now I stop buying those things too often, I start to buy only when I NEED it.

4. I know you get some ideas too, by thinking and doing it, you will support our self in keeping our self and our earth alive.

We can stop capitalist class occur the worst possibility that could happen

– extinction of live, by stop consuming what they produce.

If Capitalist Class see my presentation,Sincerely I hope you will show more respect

To your sources and don’t let greediness drives.Don’t try to deny some regulationsWhat prevent the over exploitation.
