1/ You can’t be a capitalist if you don’t have any capital. People who have been consistently and routinely kicked out of a system that distributes capital unfairly have an understandable resentment of how that system is played.

2/ It is totally understandable why tens of millions of American young people would say “What has global capitalism ever done for me?” They figure “What is it about socialism that should scare me? The free healthcare or the free college?”

3/ Everything happening is part of a Great Correction, messy & painful but needed. GameStop was a shot across the bow. American capitalism will claim an ethical center & the US government will insist on it with appropriate regulations or the tower is going to fall #LetThePeopleIn

Way too late. Tower’s already toppling. Our task is to direct the fall so it doesn’t kill everyone on the way down,

Idk how you did it but every tweet in this thread is more nonsensical than the last. Everyone has capital, aka something of value. Even if you don’t have a single cent, you own your labor that you can sell at a profit. In a socialist system, you don’t even own your own labor.

Today was an example of free market capitalism against crony socialist/oligarchic capitalism.
