the term is reductive but if we're talking reductive terms I prefer "selfish vs empathetic" because the way I see it leftism is an ideology where everyone will win, everyone will be bettered and it's for the majority of the people, while capitalism is an ideology where there will always be a loser, there will always be oppression, and it only works for a select few selfish people.
