I think the silent downvotes mean you struck a nerve.


Generally on the internet there is a lot of "that's just capitalism" and then the discussion degrades and it's just a bunch of "that's capitalism too" and you realize you are comparing real world capitalism to someone's theory that is bound by nothing and I'm not sure there is any point in that.


Arguments about the moral qualities of capitalism v socialism are always an unproductive pissing contest, doubly so on the Internet.


Yes, but in this case I don't think it's unproductive or irrelevant to acknowledge that the problems from the article are rooted in the intersection of political and economic factors
