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, that pure capitalism does not exist, that is correct. But that is what pure capitalism would look like and the question was why people don’t like capitalism

      Hmmm, I guess I don’t like the reasoning “extreme version of complicated idea is bad, therefore the idea is bad in general”. Like its fine to dislike an idea’s extremes, but it would be disingenuous to also dismiss its more moderate forms.
