Nah. That's part of the subversion. That's part of the marketing. That's part of the ruse. That's the irony. It's not Capitalism. Not even close.

- krapp 3y agoI'm sorry but any definition of capitalism which doesn't include the United States - arguably the most nakedly and aggressively capitalist society in human history except perhaps for the British empire, which taught the US everything it knows - is absurd on its face. The purpose of the system is what it does, and capitalism is what capitalists do. Oligarchy and crony capitalism are the most efficient forms for capitalism to take to transfer value to the capitalist class without interference from the market or government, and so capitalism tends to evolve in that direction, similar to the way many forms of live tend to evolve into crabs.
