Part of the pro- #capitalist psychosis is the naive assumption that the system is a perfect #meritocracy in which everyone always gets exactly what they deserve. And this allows them conveniently to turn a blind eye toward #injustice, and go about living their lives in blissful apathy.

"Part of the pro- #capitalist psychosis is the naive assumption that the system is a perfect #meritocracy in which everyone always gets exactly what they deserve."

Another cheap strawman for the collection. I still hold out hope that some day someone who hates capitalism will do so on the basic of an honest criticism and actually understanding of what it is, not this sort of hyperbolic nonsense.

@AlexanderKingsbury I didn't say that's what capitalism is, in fact I quite strongly imply the contrary. I'm saying that's what many pro-capitalists subconsciously assume about capitalism. There's no strawman here, only misunderstanding on your part.

@Ravenheart257

This isn't a strawman? Then surely you can point to someone who actually thinks this.
