    I mean this in the kindest way, but you’re too illiterate for this conversation. Jobs have nothing to do with obtaining capital. You are not a capitalist if you have a job. You are a capitalist if you rent the means of production to the people with jobs in exchange for the majority of the wealth created.

    You. Specifically you. Are not and will never be a capitalist. You will never have a significant amount of capital, and the vast majority of humans have none.

    Read literally any theory, then join back. This is why we say you libs say every left wing person is a tankie. You don’t know the basics, much less who is or isn’t a tankie.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

      Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.

          See, that’s the problem with you Tankies, when faced with criticism you automatically default to “You just can’t break free of capitalism” or “You just don’t understand the true meaning/definition capitalism/communism” or “You just haven’t read theory”

          But the truth is, that’s NOT the issue, as much as you try to deflect and make it the issue, it’s not

          Tankies are Tankies because they refuse to acknowledge that their “examples of communism” are Authoritarian regimes run by dictators

          Fuck capitalism, but to advocate to replace it with just another flavor of authoritarianism is asinine.

          This thread and entire comm isn’t about capitalism vs communism or theory or the ideals of socialism, it’s about the Authoritarians known as “Tankies” and documentation of what they say and do.

            You’re right, you brought up all of that because you don’t understand that nearly no one is a capitalist. Capitalist does not mean someone that believes in capitalism or lives under it.

            I get that you’re undereducated, but do try to keep on topic. You’re upset because you didn’t understand what was said or what the argument was. And you’re extra mad that someone that isn’t a tankie isn’t taking your side.
