  Why is banning capitalism bad? There is a growing by view today that capitalism is an evil thing. It needs to go. The poster is asking why would of it be bad to get rid of capitalism?

    Exactly how would you get rid of it? Socialize all private property? Government owns everything? No capital in private hands?
    • gadflyinyoureye 3y ago
      Pretty much, yeah.

        I would love to bet against you on pretty much anything related to politics, because I think your views are so far divorced from reality.

  I was obtusely pointing out the danger of this sort of argument. If you're a fan of advertising, possibly work in advertising, then "capitalism is advertising" might get people to say "oh, I really like capitalism so I'd better put up with advertising blighting our culture and turning the world into a surveillance nightmare"; but they might instead conclude "is that right? OK, maybe we should get rid of capitalism then", possibly not what an advertising proponent would want to encourage.
