I’m not anti-capitalist; I think the most enlightened society has aspects of capitalism & socialism. But we’ve drifted into a virulent strain of capitalism, with no ethical or moral responsibility to people or planet. It will correct that, or a generation will storm the Bastille.

you can have markets in a socialist economy, but there are no reforms that can’t be undone under capitalism.

This is not capitalism AT ALL. You simply CANNOT have capitalism and “too big to fail”. If you can’t fail, it isn’t capitalism. The rich stay rich NO MATTER WHAT they do The word for this is FEUDALISM. We are going to have to do the bloody revolution against NOBLES again 🤮

1/2 Marianne, I have huge respect for you, but I don't know why you keep saying this. As a scholar of colonialism and settler colonialism, I can tell you a lot about how capitalism is a system of violence that came to be during colonialism. So we really need to historically

There will always be racism and inequities under a capitalism system. It’s actually called racial capitalism...

2contextualize capitalism before we talk about not being anti-capitalist. You can't ignore history. You can't ignore the damage capitalism has done to people, civilizations, and cultures. This history can't be ignored because it continues today, albeit it in a more discreet way.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Also, end game. We're there. Systems do exactly what they're built to do. Now where's that bastille?
