Found the tankie lol
Unregulated capitalism doesn't work. I don't think anyone has ever seriously claimed that it does. The FTC isn't the only thing keeping the market fair, the free market does that on its own. When a company does a shitty thing, they lose customers and die. That's true in pretty much every market in the real world, except for a few problematic ones where there are bad actors trying to cheat the system.
Anti-capitalist ≠ tankie
In fact Communist ≠ tankie
Tankies are specifically defenders of Marxist-Leninist communism and their one party state rule (which is ironically not communism, it's Stalinism which is a form of autocratic socialism)
Sure, but
So I operate on the assumption that anticapitalist people on Lemmy are tankies. It's not true in all cases ofc, but without more info, I think that's a safe default.
That dude calling my post "bullshit romanticism of capitalism" gives a bit more confidence that they're a tankie with a strong case of grassphobia.
Lemmy is not full of tankies, yours truly a communist.
And your post was free market romanticism.
