Ehh i wouldnt agree, heavy capitalists are usually pretty liberal because they dont like regulation. There is some precident of big factory and company owners actually fighting against faschism(not for the good reasons tho). I do agree with lesser right wing ideologies just being "recruitment" for far-righters. Wewe seen them radicalise so many times in the past that it should be obvious by now that any amount of right leads to more far-right.
Capitalism doesn't care what people feel about it, it moves according to its structure. Just because libertarians don't like Capitalism doesn't mean they can stop monopoly Capitalism from lobbying for regulations.
All liberal capitalists want a full on chain of commands and dictator level control over their ~~domain~~ employees. The only difference is that they want “market forces” to force people to work for them instead of violence.
Poverty is violence. The extra steps change nothing.
It outsources the blame and hides the connection from those who lack critical thinking.
Yeah thats true. Maybe this is like reading into the nuance of how a work camp is better than a death camp because you at least produce something before dying a horrible death. But i still stand by my opinion that the meme isnt completely true.
I would certainly not say that adding extra torment by forcing people to work as a profit incentive for capitalists would make said death camp any less abhorrent.
Yes thats what im saying in my comment? Maybe my language was unclear but i meant that my original comment is also a useless comparison.
“Liberal” is a word with many meanings. Not defining is bad enough. Hopping between definitions between sentences and hoping your readers don’t notice is just lame.
