I never suggested otherwise. However capitalism’s core motivator is exploitation.
It is in no way wrong to suggest we move away from such a model, or criticize such a model.

The point isn’t that capitalism is worse, but that it isn’t any better. Despite all the fancy clothes and powdered wigs there is still a class oppressing another class except now the oppressors enjoy far fewer violent deaths.

I think back then they were just high on their own supply and believe their bullshit. And nowadays the people that run things are just in a apocalyptic mindset where they know what they are doing is wrong and that’s why they’ve built a security state to protect them and their wealth. This is why America is a police state. It’s just like one big giant. concentration camp that can turn up the dial when necessary. An open air prison with varying degrees. Also, a lot of these people don’t realize their products are shitty and not well made like they used to be. And you can blame China, but the world’s capitalist system. And it takes two to tango. I think the people that are rich just have no conscience and they don’t understand quality. The leader is a follower and the follower is a leader that is dead.

It is weird when you criticize one thing and people start saying shit like this, as if your critique of the one thing, is an endorsement of everything else.
