Reminds me of a certain pro-capitalist meme that used to be floated around. Please
enjoysuffer with me
Lol “some” of the money
Liberal logic 1: support capitalism because it is supposedly a meritocratic system where people gain success according to their labor.
Liberal logic 2: support plutocratic wealth distribution because the Capitalist class need to gain more reward from their properties on the assumption that the ownership of the properties themselves cannot provide enough reward to the Capitalists.
Liberal logic 3: use state military to massacre any workers who demand meritocracy because the Capitalist system should depend on the wealth of the Capitalist class insead of the labor of the working class.
That is the redefinition trick of Liberalism: the Liberals often redefine Capitalism so Capitalism can take the credit for productivity from people that work against the Capitalism system or shift the blame of Capitalist problems to an individual or group. The quoted argument in opening post assumes that Capitalism is a market economic system that produce all the innovations in the modern period which contradict the Liberal practice to use Capitalism as reference to plutocratic command economy. The Capitalists spread the redefinition of Capitalism in schools to convince the workers to support Capitalism from the ignorance that their current free riding plutocratic system in the leading Capitalist country is actually Capitalist.
then china switched back from being ultra communist far left to super capitalist (and therefor good right?) whenever it is convenient
Today I had an interesting debate on what exactly constitutes “working class”. Any theory I could read on that?
‘capitalism made iPhone’ is already an advanced clown level
then they need to explain what china is
Also don’t forget that modern technology was and is largely developed in institutions and projects that are either publicly funded or publicly owned.
