Why are folks so anti-capitalist? - eviltoast

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!

      Yes so we need to understand it. You don’t think our countless historians and social scientists are doing their work purely for fun or do you?

        Sure. I never said we shouldn’t understand it.

        Understanding != continued existence.

        But with that said, capitalism has proven itself to be unsustainable and in need of replacement. The longer we take to replace it the worse things are going to be.
