   The future in perspectives.

   My furry friends from Kollectiva and I agree on many things, but not on what a future would be like if there was a revolution that overturned Capitalism.

   Their view: Happy people living free and using barter and cryptocurrencies for getting their eggs and avocados. Everyone is smiling, and lives a long and fruitful life
   My view: Miserable people eking out a bare existence in the ruins, and selling body parts to rich people to buy basics. Everyone is sick and dying

     I think that, as with other words, like "Christian" and "feminist", there is a "No True Scotsman" problem with "Capitalism".

     Most of the people hating it use a different definition than most of the people supporting it.

     So there is a great deal of mis- or dis-information due to equivocation.

     Unfortunately this pattern of moving goalposts by redefining words has become very popular on both Left and Right extremes.

     So it becomes hard to speak intelligibly about the subject.
