So all the good things belong to capitalism and all the bad things are something else. Got it.
> We use oil because it's cheap and comes out of the ground, not because of capitalism.
Where did the capital come from to build those oil wells? Who funded the security companies, and the lawsuits, and the governments? Why is it that the people most negatively affected happen to also be the ones with the least access to capital?
> You cannot sell me communism
I'm not. I'm saying to not put blind faith into capitalism, including to imply that a market economy and being paid requires capitalism.
But since anything regarded as a negative critique of gung ho capitalism is termed 'socialism' or 'communism' or 'Marxist', ... guess that's what I am.
