Every time I make a comment that contains the word "capitalism" in a critical way it goes down inevitably bad on Hacker News.
There is inevitably a splitting-like reaction, as if the only way to talk about this is "Capitalism good/bad" and therefore "socialism/communism good/bad".
I am NOT anti-capitalistic per se, but I am certainly critical of any view that takes capitalism (any form of it, even the best ones like the Scandinavian versions) and unbridled growth as an unshakable tenet of our present and our future.
In other words, I am luckily not at a Mark Fisher stage.
Thanks for the link.

(There was also quite a bit of science in pre-capitalist societies.) Sorry, I don't know who Mark Fisher is nor what stage he acted on. > Thanks for the link. I hope you enjoy the read as much as I did.
