Basically because its deeply oversimplified to the point of being nonsense. As it stands, some assholes in suits set the price. There are constant bouts of shrinkflation, some stores raise prices based on brand prestige, convenience, friction, or because a neighborhood is wealthy. Economics classes create a distorted view of how the world works. And that narrative they taught us is designed to help us accept neoliberalism. And disregard alternatives.

Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!
