  1. Cut the cake into portions equal to the number of attendees. Maybe a couple more if you want to save a few slices. Everyone gets to enjoy cake at the party
  2. Grab a fork, and eat it alone. At a party. All the attendees just watch as you gorge yourself on far more cake than one person should consume. Take the rest home and freeze it so you can continue to be the only one to enjoy it

Capitalists see nothing wrong with option 2.

Hey there, pal! Gotta say, I respectfully disagree with your take on taking a slice of cake under capitalism for yourself and not sharing it with other people. Now, I'm not here to rain on your parade or anything, but let's dive into this and have a little chat about it.

Now, you mentioned capitalism, and boy, oh boy, that's a whole can of worms right there! Under capitalism, my friend, you gotta work to eat that slice of cake. It's not just handed out willy-nilly. I mean, think about it – in a capitalist society, resources are distributed based on productivity and the market's demand. You work, you earn money, and then you can reward yourself with that scrumptious slice of cake.

Sure, it might seem unfair to some, but it's the system we've got for now. So, instead of complaining about not getting your cake without doing anything, why not channel that energy into working hard, improving your skills, and securing your own slice? It might not be the easiest path, but it's the one that capitalism lays out for us.

Now, I'm not here to push any specific ideology on you, but it's essential to understand the underlying principles governing our society. And as someone who majored in Economics, well let me just aay i feel I am certified in this field. So, my friend, let's strap on our work boots, embrace the capitalist game, and earn that slice of cake together!

I choose to believe that you're being facetious.
