  • Hearing family members in privileged positions scoff at the idea of using their position to help those less fortunate. It made me take a step back and think about why they might feel that way when I had previously assumed humans would always want to work together and support one another. It really shattered the whole “Kumbaya” aspects of my childhood as I realized capitalism encouraged profit and personal success over the welfare of the whole. It made me want to learn more about our economic system and how we could improve it. I was probably 14-15 at the time and by the time I hit college I was a full blown Marxist.
