We're still living under those oversimplified definitions today, to some extent: in the West, "capitalist" doesn't mean "private ownership of the means of production"; it means "not Communist," full stop. That's a big part of why there's not as much agreement as we'd like that capitalism is bad.

Was ancient rome capitalist then?

"marxist conception of capitalism is wrong because, like, everything is capitalist maaaaaaan"

The real capitalism was in our hearts all along.


Majorian posted:

From my perspective, no. From a lot of Americans' perspective, probably.


A lot of people think so, yeah. They're wrong, but they're the people you need to convince that "capitalism" means more than just "a dirty Kremlin-sympathizing Red" or whatever.

So most americans are idiots?

I think "capitalism" is that warm fuzzy feeling you get when you exploit the global working class.

yeah, i never really truly got the hate for dems until this election

having a couple of supposed progressives tell me that funding murder squads was a necessary evil really opened my eyes

if capitalism uses death squads and communism uses death squads maybe the answer is in the middle

Was talking to a German from the east who's family fled from central Europe to avoid the Red Army, and my dislike of Rowling caused a bigger argument than my admiration of the Soviet Union.

The entire interaction was CSpam as hell.

Dems have repeatedly campaigned on e.g. universal healthcare, which happens to be the single biggest thing any leftist or pseudo-leftist can offer people in the 50-100K range.


and when they had the chance to pass universal healthcare they immediatly capitulated to the insurance companies
