I wasn't making a no true capitalism argument. I was responding to the implicit straw man that ties capitalism to apathy or complicity about corruption. Capitalists care about private corruption. They always have. That's why there are laws and norms around fraud, nepotism, embezzling, and white collar crime in general.
Just because people are creative and invent new ways to be corrupt doesn't mean captilist societies are indifferent.
I would expect people skeptical towards corporations to see some common ground here.
- GoodJokes 8y agoTo be a capitalist you must exploit labor for profit. It’s astoundung everyone’s face is melting off because they don’t understand this basic tenet. I mean, you can say the person deserves the profit, but you would be sociopathic and wrong.
