    If you question people who say this they will say “sure we didn’t call it capitalism but people were trading and selling to become richer since forever!”. And you try to explain that markets =/= capitalism and you see their eyes glass over and their brains shutdown.

    We say libs don’t know anything about communism, but they will die on a hill to defend capitalism and they know nothing about it either.

      The burden of marxists is that we understand our opponents positions and our own, but they don’t understand either.

      I maintain that Marxists are better at playing the game of capitalism than "capitalists".

      Was reading some of Engels letters about the stock market earlier lol

        I mean just look at China. They teach Marxism to everyone and embed Communist Party cadres in every company and they're eating the first world's lunch as a result.

          Marxists won't waste as much time and money on fads that won't create value like NFTs and cryptocurrency either
