That's a pretty childish response. Capitalism isn't the boogeyman. Just like socialism and communism aren't. Corruption and the influence of money in politics are the bane of all systems. Abuse of power should be amongst the most heinous crimes in any system, instead we give immunity.
The person who is championing the fantasy version of capitalism that only exists in his mind, is calling me childish.
The system that I am "championing" is not even capitalism, which is kind of the point. Isms are just fantasies to divide people. And, you have gone straight to ad hominem attacks rather than offer arguments or alternatives, so yes, childish.

HUSH, SMALL-BRAINED PEON. The good little neo-lib has spoken.
Let us all gather around the learned one as he tells us about how his dreams are more important than reality. He sees beyond the petty reality of Capitalism killing the world and destroying billions of lives, to tell us about the ideal version of Capitalism that only exists inside his head.
I'm sorry that your inability to understand what actual capitalism, socialism and communism are make you resort to roll on the floor kicking and screaming instead of making a valid point about, well, anything. You might as well as join those labeling anything they don't like as woke.
Okay.
Go through my posts and call me a neo-lib if you wish. But, I guess you would have to come up with a new name for the true neo-libs who call me a socialist or communist. The true sign of intelligence is projection. Our dear leader can teach you that.
I don't care what modern neo-libs call you. The idea that "The free market + regulation = perfect" is the seed of any neoliberal platform. And that system will ultimately devolve into a bunch of rich fucks buying their way out of regulation. It's a failing system. It always is.
But I suspect you either know that, don't care, and are going to white knuckle your way to oblivion, or you just don't feel like hearing it, so you won't. It can be very difficult to realize that the horse you've hitched your wagon to can be easily exploited by people with nefarious intent.
You got me. I've hitched my wagon to the very capitalist free, quality healthcare and education for all wagon. A real fantasy. I don't like to engage in name calling, but you are truly an idiot.
You can play smartest boy in the room and call me an idiot all you want, if it makes you sleep better. Just know that the difference between you and I is that I can actually admit I'm just a random idiot on Bluesky, and not a fucking economist.
I AM an economist and you ARE an idiot. Sorry to inform.
Capitalism is the power of capital, not labor. You earn by owning, not by working, and you amass what you own by paying those working for you less than what you sell their product or service for. You may have the heart in the right place, but do rethink the axiom that capitalism means "free market".
