Why are folks so anti-capitalist? (programming.dev)

Hi all,

I'm seeing a lot of hate for capitalism here, and I'm wondering why that is and what the rationale behind it is. I'm pretty pro-capitalism myself, so I want to see the logic on the other side of the fence.

If this isn't the right forum for a political/economic discussion-- I'm happy to take this somewhere else.

Cheers!

Yeah, just take one look at Lemmygrad...

They'll tell you all about how great China is while glossing over the millions of dead bodies it took to achieve their current situation, which is still piss poor for many workers. But fuck America, right?... Lol
