      The capitalist class that expropriates the working class’ surplus value sure doesn’t hate capitalism.

      Yeah alot of them love capitalism so hard, while simultaneously bemoaning every single part of capitalism, while being too stupid to be convinced the two are connected.

          To be honest, I have never meant the word stupid to mean anything outside of “decided they already know everything and have thus stop allowing themselves capable of learning”, I dont believe anyone is actually stupid, they just stop learning and it appears the same way anyways.

      but everyone hates the big companies and the rich people

      its just that the right has been told that the left are the rich people (and then the left say that the neoliberals are the rich people, etc)

      True. Capitalism can be made to work well for most people, as shown in many European and Asian countries. You need strong regulations (and for workers to engage in unions and in voting). People (specially on lemmy) seem to mix American oligarchy with capitalism.
