Hey friends, just trying to get an idea of how people think of capitalism in different communities. What first comes to mind when you think of that word? Is it your national or international retail giants, resource extraction, or logistics companies? Or perhaps your local diner, hardware or convenience store? The black market? Or something else?
Those kinds of ‘leftists’ largely turned out to be an idpol flavor of shitlib, in at least my personal experience.
They really just wanted rainbow capitalism with approximately 25% more welfare state.
Ask any of those people, back then, to attempt to formulate a political strategy that… you know, might actually achieve that?
They either got offended by the question, or their answer was somewhere between ‘just keep raising awareness (via wholly corporately owned communication platforms)’ and ‘manifesting’.
