If you want, oh, about a million such instances of capitalists denying 2008 as a "capitalist event," hang out on https://www.reddit.com/r/CapitalismVSocialism/

If you want, oh, about a million such instances of capitalists denying 2008 as a "capitalist event," hang out on https://www.reddit.com/r/CapitalismVSocialism/ https://www.reddit.com/r/CapitalismVSocialism/ for a day. For every socialist who says the USSR was not actually socialist, there is a capitalist who will deny any bad thing happening under capitalism being related to capitalism itself. It's always the government's fault. As if the government made bankers bet on bets on bets on bets on instruments founded in shaky debt. This type of runaway effect is only possible in a system that supports the commodification of anything.
