You don’t have to be anti-capitalist to recognize that global capitalism has been weaponized, used too often as a tool by which to subjugate the poor. As many lives as it has lifted out of poverty it has thrown into despair.

Anti-Capitalist? What you meant to say is socialist, and rebranding it won’t change anything.

I don’t need to re-brand anything. I’m very capable of saying what I mean.

Isn’t the design of the system literally “extract all possible value from the labor of the working class”? Hard to describe a cruise missile as “weaponized” when it does the only thing it can do

No, actually. That’s like saying traffic is inherently dangerous. There are traffic laws for a reason.

I think the balance of people ground under capitalists far outweigh those who've benefited from it.

What if I told you that this is the true fulfillment of capitalism? It's goal is greed and to subjugate everything and everyone to servitude under the least amount of people on the lofty, ivory towers. You're seeing this in your midst as we speak.

That is just simply false.

Do you have receipts on that one ma'am? Because I see a ton of despair created by communism and socialism.
