    "Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them."

    Mainstreaming opposition to capitalism as explicit opposition to capitalism is generally good, even if the source doesn't have any worthwhile aims. It's easier to bring someone left if they start off conscious of capitalism and with a negative opinion of it. Contrast that with people who will defend capitalism without even knowing it, and who will say "but capitalism is the greatest driver of prosperity and freedom and sunshine and rainbows ever" if you even get to the point where you can discuss it directly.
