      Communists aren’t the only people that hate modern, western, late stage capitalism. Some of us are good, old fashioned, corporations-aren’t-people folks who believe that the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness shouldn’t be infringed by the mantra of “maximizing profits for our shareholders”.

      Ah because if you don’t support laissez-faire capitalism you must be a communist.

      Ha! You know you are on Lemmy when “not all of us are Communists” gets pummelled by downvotes.

      Apparently most are!

        No, he got downvoted because he equated not supporting capitalism to communism. I think most people on Lemmy are lefties but not communists. There’s a lot of in between.

            Social democracy as in the European social countries for example. There’s capitalism and partially free market, but its negative effects are balanced by stronger social safety nets such as free healthcare, free education, parental support, paid vacations and other public services thanks to redistribution through progressive taxes. It’s not perfect but I believe it’s the best of what we have actually experimented to scale for now.

                I’m personally not against a partially free market that allows a well optimized economy as long as the potential negative impact on people and the environment are composted compensated by well enforced laws.

          What? He literally just said “not all of us are Communists” any other interpretation is very much reading between lines which is a stretch when there is only one line.

            And with the context of the comment that they were replying to, that is very much what is implied. No need to read between the single line.

          “Misguided” is a touch ironic when the only substantive point being made is, “capitalists seek profits above the welfare of their workers or customers.” You know… something heavily demonstrated throughout history…

          But no, anyone who disagrees with you must be a misguided commie… Pathetic.
