I’m not anti-capitalist; it has done a lot of good for the world. But unbridled capitalism, untethered to ethical considerations, has done great damage too. It helped create the problem and it is not the answer now. This isn’t about profit for anyone; it’s only about saving lives

Capitalism, while a necessary evolution in production, did not in itself create the burst of innovation that got us where we are today. Humanity did, and our creative spirit will never stop innovating, unless impeded by a system that requires capital to create. We must evolve.

A really good and relevant point of view. Capitalism is a virus that needs to be defeated but why are we stuck on solutions that, IMHO, are just as bad. Let's be honest about what we truly want, and don't want, and let's create. The PTB sure are.

Free market capitalism beats all other economic systems. Sorry about you.

Socialism and Capitalism have both bad side and good side. We need to adopt both of the good side.

@Drubskin please help. Dialogue with our 🌹allies. Canceling people for using the word “capitalism” is not a winning strategy for anyone. Don’t let “isms” divide us. We all agree on policy.

Weird statement.

I am anti-capitalist. I am an anti-capitalist because I recognize that every proclaimed benefit with that system comes with a backside. The backside is that it benefits greed and competition instead of kindness and cooperation. We see the results from that mindset today.
