    Capitalism is fundamentally unfair. Some asshole who doesn’t even work keeps the benefits of the work. Fuck that.

    If people do not want socialism then people should stop pushing other people towards socialism.

      Regardless if they understand, they know they want something more progressive and fair. I think that’s a good thing. It also means they are probably more open to learn about politics in general which is great.

      You think Americans don’t know what Capitalism means? We know better than Milton Goddamn Friedman did.

      Cue the “This is not capitalism, it’s crony capitalism!” calls.
