Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley): During an appearance on ABC’s This Week with Jonathan Karl, Secretary of State Tony Blinken explicitly said that the US would not oppose Ukraine using US-supplied longer-range missiles to attack deep inside Russian territory, a move that Moscow

      Ahh yes, I forgot that knowing basic history makes me a capitalist?

      When did the modern Russian state become anything close to communist or socialist again?

        You’re not a capitalist, you’re just a lib bootlicker

        Capitalists don’t waste their time defending capitalism online, they’re busy doing drugs and pretending to work

                Of course liberals support capitalism and cannot be socialist. The problem is that capitalist is simply not the word for someone who supports capitalism in the same way that socialist is the word for someone who supports socialism. It’s an unintuitive language quirk, but not a unique one.

                If we were to redefine capitalist to mean “everyone who supports capitalism” we need a new word for what capitalist means. And considering “everyone who supports capitalism” is a group consisting basically only of liberals and fascists, I don’t see why such a word is necessary. 99% of the time you would use this redefined form of capitalist, liberal would be sufficient.

                    You’re just going on giant hostile rants because you can’t admit that you don’t know the basic definition of the word capitalist and then accusing me of “gatekeeping” and “purity testing” because I do know the definition of that word

                    A capitalist is a member of the class which owns the means of production under capitalism. Your racist Vietnam vet neighbor John isn’t a capitalist no matter how much boot he licks or how shitty he is.
