From a dialectical materialist view, saying that capitalism was a horrible idea is not true. #Capitalism was a revolutionary and progressive force in the 1700s, and it was successful at modernizing the world, connecting people of different countries, and improving the productive forces of society. The problem isn't that capitalism was always a horrible idea. The problem is that capitalism is now a force of conservativism and reactionism; it is no longer revolutionary.
