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.

A free market is possible only with regulation. A free market assumes all actors are interchangeable, are equal. A market composed of strong and weak is not free, since a free market is thought to be fair. In an unregulated market, the strong will dominate. Candy from a baby.

Yes except I take issue with "as many"
This sorta of statement is why we must expel healing crystal pedaling charlatans such as yourself from pop culture. Capitalism is always exploitive it’s the way the way system is designed work. Everything else is a pretense about capitalism— and yes self help books are lies.

Okay but if you recognize that and you’re still not anti capitalist then you are part of the problem
Replying to @marwilliamson
You are describing a later stage capitalism which is inevitable with this system. So yes, you do have to hate capitalism.

"Capitalism is concerned only with gain and profitability." @DalaiLama Global interdependence is needed to solve our #ClimateCrisis but that is in opposition to the capitalist idea of a self that can only prosper via competition & individual wealth...religioussocialism.org/inter…
