You know what they called "capitalists" before the socialists invented the word?

Humans.

Do you think what we perceive as todays capitalism can be called capitalism? Because I don’t think so 🤔

Crony capitalism is a bit like fascism, I suppose.

It’s to messy out there for it to be only described with capitalism, depending on where you live it’ll be some kind of hybrid

Gate-keeping, slaving, monopolies and expropriation under threat of violence go back tens if not hundreds of thousands of years.

Its only the scale, anonymity and diversity of modern economies that gives us the potential to escape Socialism. Or be consumed by it. Every choice shapes outcomes.

Ist there any good -ist? Artist maybe?
