  • You used the wrong quote from yourself. What you quoted from me was a reaction to this gem of a statement:

    If you support capitalism and you’re not a capitalist you’re just a bootlicker.

    which is black and white, and typical of us-good versus them-bad argument fallacies. If you live and participate in a capitalist system, as the vast majority of humanity does, you are, to some degree, supporting it.

    Based on the comments in this thread I take your position to be it’s a matter of degree of support. Owning a truck isn’t capital, it’s apparently got to be a lot to make someone a capitalist. That is not leftist or anti-capitalist, but simply “eat the rich”. Most people exist in classes that participate in ways that keep the lower earners below. I do not believe most humans think this great system for all but feel helpless, and participate as a way to simply exist.

    Surely spreading insulting, erudite rhetoric in online is not the solution.
