Lots of bad takes in this thread.

Most people don't even understand capitalism or socialism or even communism.

For a surface level understanding of capitalism, this video does a good job. https://youtu.be/C1Gs0uqqggc?si=EHli6_sWDCroIKpE

Good video. People get caught up in words and ideas without realizing most of us want the same goals. Instead of demonizing the “other” for some emotional validation, we should strive to listen and learn. Educate the hate away.

I see your point, but let me offer a counter point:

Fuck You

There is no hate in saying this is r-worded good old trickle down theory that have been disproved times and times again. Basic economics is like basic biology. Simplistic.

Seriously, I spent 15 minutes watching this crap. I'll never get them back. This is just cruel.

EDIT: the best part is when it stops.

Capitalism dominates the world because it trades tomorrow for today in an attempt for exponential growth without regard for the future. Anyone doing less is dominated and exploited by the resource imbalance. Capitalism isn't winning bc its good, its winning bc its not playing to win, its playing to die.

Is that a quote? Or an original thought. Either way, it’s golden.
