I think capitalism is fine to an extent. It's when companies become too large that their scale and power enshittify things.

The problem is not 'Capitalism'. It's the JACK WELCH brand of Capitalism, the one that tears apart the soul of any company that produces goods and turns it into a robot for profit with the sacrifice of any meaningful corporate planning or infrastructure (including workers) investment.

Until THIS ends, Capitalism is, in fact, an evil.

Edit: Honestly. Please. Look up what Welch did to GE and how it spread to every other corporation. It's EYE opening.

Because they've never seen well regulated Capitalism nor been educated on it as all we get in the US is Corporate propaganda on Capitalism to justify the hellscape the wealthy make the most money from.

Comments on a self-professed tankie instance

This is LEMMY.ML, mister. Also, everything everyone else is saying.

I'd say that unless you are pretty wealthy then you're pro- something designed to optimally exploit you while making you think that it's the greatest system on Earth and that society can't possibly do any better.

You know that the .ml in lemmy.ml stands for "Marxist-Leninist", right?

Lemmy.ml was started by tankies so that would be why there is little love for market capitalism on this server. Oddly enough, many seem perfectly fine with state capitalism like China has.
