I'm in a similar situation here as well. To expand on that a bit, it's not only unfair that a select few people are the primary beneficiaries of how our economy is organized, but it's also the fact that these people decide how resources and labor are allocated. Even having a comfortable lifestyle under capitalism robs people of having any meaning in their labor, because its sole purpose is to generate profit. Many jobs that exist have no social value, and some are actively harmful to society.
