o_oWhy are folks so anti-capitalist?
McCarthy era red scare and the elimination of socialist parties by Woodrow Wilson before him (among a lot of other things) contributed to US citizens having very little understanding of systems beyond capitalism. The imperial core mentality is real and we are not immune.
Read Capitalist Realism by Mark Fisher on this phenomenon. wikipedia page
I’ll just say I read this book and it was very hard to understand without socialist lingo in your mind. It’s more of a rant than anything. I really wish it was more of a beat down of capitalist economics, but it was really just difficult to understand let alone follow along.
Thats perfectly ok! If you want easy to follow breakdowns of socialism and capitalism then you can subscribe to Second Thought on YouTube who makes introductory/essay videos.
