@micr0 The image shows a screenshot of a Twitter post by Eric Jorgenson ([@]EricJorgenson). The post reads: "Capitalism needs a logo. It's a huge miss that Communism has the Hammer & Sickle (which actually goes hard) and Capitalism has nothing. Let's do better branding for Capitalism!" The post has garnered 3.2 million views, 1.7K comments, 759 retweets, 6.8K likes, and 491 bookmarks. Below the original tweet, there is a reply from user MATSCHARELLI ([@]matscharelli) with a logo featuring a stylized dollar sign within a circle on a yellow background. The logo is a play on the Nazi swastika, symbolizing a critique of the original tweet's suggestion.

@altbot holy shit altbot you are goated
@altbot
Wow, that's a crazy analysis for a bot. Even got the swastika thing right. Wish we could figure out the reasoning for this 😱
@micr0
@altbot @micr0 Wow man!! You are so great 🔥🔥
@micr0 I must say that the logo couldn't have been better. It's just a masterpiece
@micr0
Oh, yes, that's awfully good. 🙂
@micr0
That is brilliant.. copy.
@micr0 I love the design! Does the Yellow has a meaning?
@dacig @micr0 piss

@aperture @dacig @micr0 I assume it's the demonetization symbol from YouTube, which symbolizes how small creators struggle to earn a living whilst the corporations are increasingly hostile and greedy, earning record profits every quarter while, and paying nothing to the working class who are living paycheck to paycheck and can barely afford necessities.

it's definitely not piss though because piss is actually cool unlike capitalism
@sodiboo @micr0 @aperture @dacig It’s definitely piss yellow, symbolizing trickle down economics pissing on us and calling it rain.
@dacig @micr0 it's the color of betrayal.
@dacig @micr0 The yellow and black could be a nod to the flag of anarcho-capitalism.
@dacig Probably similar to anarcho-capitalism, meant to resemble gold. Green would probably work for a classic dollar look, but imo yellow was a perfect choice here because of how ugly it looks, really like a faded red of an enshittified printer that still has yellow but run out of magenta or magenta pigment was less stable and faded since 1939. It also looks like piss. @micr0
@micr0 "imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever"

@micr0 that's very fitting branding
@micr0 with shades of nazi swastika, perfect.
@micr0 I mean... It's definitely the most ACCURATE flag for capitalism.

@micr0
Make it a little orange/gold and you have
The Turnip/MAGA flag.

Has anyone seen this before? It's brilliant. It's the $wastica-pitalism.

@RustedComputing @micr0, well, I've seen that exact $ before. It's exactly the shape of the $ character in the ZX Spectrum, ZX81 and (presumably) ZX80 character sets.

I would, however, be very surprised if this is anything other than total co-incidence.

@lp0_on_fire @micr0 not sure. Unless you mean that is also tilted at 45 degrees. Then, yes, of course, absolutely a coincidence. Just a running dollar sign...
@micr0
Crony Capitalism - to be accurate
@aquarius1842 @micr0 the accumulation of capital by the wealthy is a central right in capitalism of any kind. Capital represents power, and at a certain level includes the power to buy politicians. There is no capitalism that is not or does not eventually become crony capitalism.
@capriciousday @aquarius1842 all transactional relationships are capitalism. Only robust public participation in democratic governance can effectively limit the rapacious tendencies inherent to capitalism.

@aquarius1842
That's... the only capitalism that exists.

@micr0

@micr0

Makes one wonder indeed…

@micr0 One presumes the yellow is a reference to "trickle-down economics".

@micr0

A boot crushing a human face forever.

@micr0 This logo has perfectly captured the essence of capitalism, I wish it all the success it deserves.
@micr0 @bathtub_jen This is even better because capitalism naturally leads to fascism.
@micr0 it's like bitcoin meats fascist

@micr0 What is the difference between communist China and India where only the millionaires emerge and enrich themselves while there are still so many poor people, and Western capitalism? We have rights that they do not.
@micr0
We need this as an emoji for the #Fediverse!
@micr0 Actually a better logo for capitalism than the hammer and sickle one is to communism...
@micr0 FFS, I though the first guy was ironic, but he is clearly not: he wrote a book titled "The wisdom of Elon Musk" (coming soon, so not even a "before doom time really there wasn't any clue") 😱
@micr0 Don't touch a thing. It’s perfect.
