Leave it up to a typical lemmy user to entirely misrepresent someone’s point, only so that they can tear it down and feel superior.
I said nothing even close to what you are falsely suggesting that I did- and I’d bet you anything I possess that you couldn’t even find an actual pro-capitalism stance in ANY of my interactions there on lemmy.
I swear, if straw man arguments weren’t allowed here, none of you would have anything to say.
I simply said that communism and socialism are also flawed, therefore there’s not a lot of motivation to change it. Also, many of you seem to not understand the absolute HELL that comes with swapping out a system of government and socio-economic ideology.
This shit was taught in high school.
Now YOU try it.
This whole comment just drips insecurity. You should get that looked at.
In functioning societies, you could even afford to have it looked at.
Again, proof you have no argument. Do you seriously think you’re hurting me with this nonsense? Take part in the discussion or walk away.
The stage is yours.
I’m not the one arguing with you. I’m the one observing you have the rhetorical skills and emotional maturity of a child.
And like your counterpart- you have nothing to say.
Welcome to my block list.
Oh no! I’m devastated!
It's probably a list of perfectly reasonable adults.
You just posted a meme in defense of capitalism right here. jfc lmao.
This is not the burn that you think it is.
If you want an alternative, try Market Socialism. All the benefits of a market economy without the capitalist exploitation. Equating socialism with Soviet style command economies is a smooth-brained take.
Try as you might, America is. It going to become like china.
