    Capitalists are also the ABSOLUTE KINGS of whataboutism despite being the ones to coin that word as something socialists apparently do. Start presenting anything about the actual issues of capitalism and they’ll 100% ignore your actual points and start spouting off about China or Soviet Russia or North Korea.

    The long list of the socialist includes these few examples:

    • Capitalism’s refusal to solve its interal contradictions and issues
    • Capitalism’s tendency to reward the production of the cheapest and most profitable, not the ones that would benefit everyone in the long run.
    • Infinte growth in a finite planet is a recipe for disaster.
    • The bourgeoisie, capitalism’s ruling class, tend to comprise of ruthless, cutthroat socialopaths that care only about earning profit and they tend to hoard their wealth away from the proletariat and society as a whole.
    • Propaganda about how great capitalism is, where in reality, it tends to be the opposite.

    (Tbh there are a lot of reasons why us commies hate capitalism so I’m just gonna leave it there)

      reward the production of the cheapest

      Which, ironically, is something capitalists criticize socialist countries for!

    If you want my nitpicks, they’d last days because you can legitimately blame almost every problem on capitalism.
