So for the record, I did not want to argue anything about capitalism. I know it's bad, I don't agree with it, it's terrible. It's just that late-stage is where it's currently at. I in no way support any sort of capitalism. That's it.

Please don't assume what I didn't say, I am not "clinging to" anything.

Sorry, but it's just upsetting when someone takes what you say out of proportion to fit their own point of view or whatever.

Literally just asking you to clarify, and get you to think critically about why you phrase things the way you did.

If you don't want either to happen, try doing them yourself first.

Edit to add: As for the actual point: all capitalism is bad, by only framing late stage capitalism as a problem (which is what you do when you take the time to come back and diferenciate it in a comment about capitalism being bad), you make it seem as if "regular" capitalism is fine, and that all we need to do is roll back to those good old days before it started impacting you.

You had it right the first time, and yet you took the time to come back and "correct" yourself, so you obviously thought it was an important enough distinction to make, when all it does it normalise "regular" capitalism, which is entirely self defeating, and why I've even bothered trying to get you to think critically about your comment instead of just disregarding you as a capitalism bootlicker.

Don't want to think critically? That's your choice. But at least take responsability for your own words.

I edited my original post before you posted this. Capitalism = bad. I agree. Full stop.

Everything you assumed from my (original) edit is nonsense, I was just clarifying what exactly I was referring to in that comment.

Please don't draw so many conclusions from such a small thing.

I'd say my views fit most closely with Anarcho-communism.

I don't want to hear your views on that if they continue to be as hostile as your other comments.
