It's not capitalism
| good. discuss gender and left/right more.
| I can't believe it's not capitalism, but rather the oligarchy who's power naturally sprung from the private ownership of the means of production and their use for the purpose of obtaining profit!!
| Spoiler: Oligarchy and capitalism are inseparable. It's capitalism.

I can't believe the world is more complex than whatever the academia says
I'm sure bitching about how an umbrella term such as "capitalism" will fix things.
It's so much easier to complain about abstract concepts than point fingers at real-world social classes to demand changes, Sure, let's just abolish capitalism instead, but I won't offer an alternative at all, I will just scream "Damn capitalism"

>It's the oligarchy
The oligarchy is a result of capitalism.
>being against an oligarchy is not inherently anti capitalistic, nor is it close to communism.
That's correct. Criticism only on the oligarchy is an oversimplified form of capitalism criticism. Things get really ugly, if the oligarchy is exclusively associated with a specific group of people. Antisemitism is a prominent example: The german nazis distinguished between "good" (german) and "bad" (jewish) oligarchs.

Maybe
>Discussing shit like gender and left/right.
Discussing shit like gender without questioning the underlying mechanisms of capitalism is ineffective, but not entirely pointless. However the "right" plays always the role of backwardness and oppression, searching for scapegoats if capitalism, which they admire at core, doesn't work as they believe it should.
| The bourgeoisie, wherever it has got the upper hand, has put an end to all feudal, patriarchal, idyllic relations. It has pitilessly torn asunder the motley feudal ties that bound man to his “natural superiors”, and has left remaining no other nexus between man and man than naked self-interest, than callous “cash payment”. It has drowned the most heavenly ecstasies of religious fervour, of chivalrous enthusiasm, of philistine sentimentalism, in the icy water of egotistical
| calculation. It has resolved personal worth into exchange value, and in place of the numberless indefeasible chartered freedoms, has set up that single, unconscionable freedom — Free Trade. In one word, for exploitation, veiled by religious and political illusions, it has substituted naked, shameless, direct, brutal exploitation.
| The bourgeoisie has stripped of its halo every occupation hitherto honoured and looked up to with reverent awe. It has converted the physician, the lawyer, the priest, the poet, the man of science, into its paid wage labourers. The bourgeoisie has torn away from the family its sentimental veil, and has reduced the family relation to a mere money relation.
| The bourgeoisie has disclosed how it came to pass that the brutal display of vigour in the Middle Ages, which reactionaries so much admire, found its fitting complement in the most slothful indolence. It has been the first to show what man’s activity can bring about. It has accomplished wonders far surpassing Egyptian pyramids, Roman aqueducts, and Gothic cathedrals; it has conducted expeditions that put in the shade all former Exoduses of nations and crusades.
| The bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionising the instruments of production, and thereby the relations of production, and with them the whole relations of society. Conservation of the old modes of production in unaltered form, was, on the contrary, the first condition of existence for all earlier industrial classes. Constant revolutionising of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the
| bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.

Its ridicolous, that lots of those who are pro-capitalist, don't understand the basic mechanics, nor the social, cultural or historical impact of the system they advocate for so zealous.

Neocons, Neoliberals and libertarians are the peak demonstration of this.
Their view on capitalism is idealized in a way beyond any reason. Their failure to admit/recognize the flaws of capitalism is the foundation for fascism. Fascists are economically more pragmatic, while their superficial identity politics is just murderous madness.
Refresh
| It's the oligarchy, it has always been. Blaming all problems on capitalism/race/politics/etc is always just a distraction, the oligarchy is the problem and has always been.
But everyone is too retarded to understand that being against an oligarchy is not inherently anti capitalistic, nor is it close to communism.
The world will keep getting worse until everything collapses because everyone's heads are too far-up their own assholes. Discussing shit like gender and left/right.
