   Capitalism is a death wish expressed as contempt for other people.

     @wowaname @nicholas Most of his critiques don't even fit my definition of capitalism. State and corporate power working together to commit genocides is NOT capitalism, yet I've seen him blame capitalism for the genocide in Gaza.

     @nicholas I noticed this asshole responded to you indirectly by calling you a "cunt" and nothing more.

     I swear this guy makes Drew DeVault look like a normal and reasonable person in comparison.

     @xianc78 @nicholas i see no reason for @aral to call anyone a cunt instead of engaging reasonably, but at the same time i understand the contempt against an economic system that falls short on selling its promised goal of buying freedom
     
     this said, i'm still not a commie.

     Capitalism raised over billion of the world's poorest out of extreme poverty in the past century, while anti-capitalism starved and murdered over 100 million in the same period.

     Capitalism makes the modest promise that people can achieve a better standard of living through hard work and good financial planning, and it's true that the government can still come in and mess up markets and screw people over.

     But stack that against the utopian promises of anti-capitalism and the devastation and death at industrial-scale caused by it's inevitable failures and I don't think 'failed to deliver on it's promises' is a point capitalism looses compared to the alternatives 🤷♀️
