Hi all,

I’m seeing a lot of hate for capitalism here, and I’m wondering why that is and what the rationale behind it is. I’m pretty pro-capitalism myself, so I want to see the logic on the other side of the fence.

If this isn’t the right forum for a political/economic discussion-- I’m happy to take this somewhere else.

Cheers!

    Lemmy.ml was started by tankies so that would be why there is little love for market capitalism on this server. Oddly enough, many seem perfectly fine with state capitalism like China has.

        An authoritarian communist. Not even necessarily communist considering many of them are China apologists and China is pretty fucking far from communism.

      Yeah, just take one look at Lemmygrad…

      They’ll tell you all about how great China is while glossing over the millions of dead bodies it took to achieve their current situation, which is still piss poor for many workers. But fuck America, right?.. Lol

      Are you a radical communist that only believes Marx is the pure form of communism? You know there’s no true direct democracy out there…
