Yes, yes. It is cool and subversive to support capitalism, or at least oppose its alternatives.(aka support capitalism) You're part of the cool club of people who act in the interests of the bourgeoisie and not of your own class. A real independent thinker.

(Not that any of us are independent thinkers, but one of us is defending the powers that be and calling the other a chatbot)

You have no idea what systems I support, yet you assume I support capitalism because I didn't agree with you, which says a lot. The only evidence of my beliefs I have provided is that I do not support your approach. Further, I do not believe your rhetoric is a genuine attempt to make the world any better for anyone.

Oh, so you are an anticommunist "leftist" then?

Edit: your post history seems to indicate you're a social democrat, which is just capitalism with a welfare state. Aka capitalism.

Fun with labels. Generalization is for the lazy.

My deep, multi week long, post history? You must really know me.

It isnt generalization it is categorization. You come at things from a social democrat perspective very clearly based on a few comments talking about your politics.

[–] MashBoilPitch@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Your categorization is too general, and counterproductive. You're apparent need to pigeon-hole strangers on the internet is sad.

Okay, so what do you believe then? I am under the impression that you want the current system but with a welfare state- free Healthcare for example- which is social democracy. Do you want society to be organized a different way?
