  • You used the wrong quote from yourself. What you quoted from me was a reaction to this gem of a statement:

    If you support capitalism and you’re not a capitalist you’re just a bootlicker.

    which is black and white, and typical of us-good versus them-bad argument fallacies. If you live and participate in a capitalist system, as the vast majority of humanity does, you are, to some degree, supporting it.

    Based on the comments in this thread I take your position to be it’s a matter of degree of support. Owning a truck isn’t capital, it’s apparently got to be a lot to make someone a capitalist. That is not leftist or anti-capitalist, but simply “eat the rich”. Most people exist in classes that participate in ways that keep the lower earners below. I do not believe most humans think this great system for all but feel helpless, and participate as a way to simply exist.

    Surely spreading insulting, erudite rhetoric in online is not the solution.







  • Yep, I’m in compete agreement on neoliberalism.

    Do not confuse the politico landscape with academic definitions.

    My guess is we disagree on which makes a difference in the world, Not you personally (I just don’t know), but I usually find Marxism a refuge for those disconnected from reality. It’s so boring, having been hashed out enumerable times. Plus it has never existed in reality, and never will because it does not account for realities of human nature.
