I suppose I was, specifically because “hard to explain” isn’t one of it’s weaknesses. It has legitimate problems, such as concentrating wealth, destroying the environment (even economic textbooks admit this) and worsening mental health. Some of the issues with capitalism go away if you didn’t need* to interact with it to survive in countries where it is in use.
The main problem I have with most of the alternatives is that they increase reliance on the government and rarely allow for “industrial” tools (family heirlooms) to be enjoyed and modified by descendents. I guess a better way of phrasing my complaint would be that non capitalist societies can exists within a capitalist system in at least one area however doing the opposite is generally impossible.
Should we be downvoting just because we disagree with a commenter? They are contributing to the conversation in good faith it seems, so I don’t understand the downvotes.
