I agree with the idea, but where is the humor in this?

Taxes are capitalist
Telodzrum@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Ahh yes, taxes which have existed since the first and most basic state came into being – millennia before capitalism, even at its most primitive, was conceived of or practiced – are capitalist.
It’s kind of incredible how teenagers on the internet use the word “capitalism” the same way boomers on facebook use “communism.”

My bad, just meant to argue that taxes weren’t explicitly communist. I don’t have any strong feelings for or agains t communism yet, maybe I’ll look into it later. Just hate to see people use thr name of an economic system as a debate ender, although I suppose I did the same. Guess it’s just the debater in me wishing we could have actual structural arguments on thr internet instead of throwing slang words around.

Yes! Tax the capitalists! I’m glad you agree.

Oh yes, an ideology defined by private ownership and small government intervention is also somehow responsible for the basis of government intervention - taxes.

They don’t actually believe in small government intervention at all - they want the goverment to enforce private property rights and then just tax a little back, below the cost of bringing it into production.
The big lie is that private property is natural, and thus its enforcement is small.
