> It's not blaming capitalism. It's blaming purism.
I've never seen an article that blames "purist capitalism" on HN (maybe two that reference "lassie-faire capitalism"), and dozens that just blame "capitalism", no further elaboration given. The most straightforward explanation is that capitalism itself is being blamed, and I think that this explanation is supported by the recent (past 20 years?) increase in support for socialism/communism (both in the US and globally).

- cbsmith 5y agoI guess it depends on how you read it. This article is pretty clearly critical of "capitalism in its purist form", and [checks notes] it was posted on HN. So your perception may be more of projection of your own POV than that of others.
