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!

    No, a capitalist is a person with a particular relationship to the means of production and their continued social reproduction.

    If someone uses it to mean they support an economic and political mode of organization where those people are in charge that’s fine, but it doesn’t stop meaning the first thing.
