This is absolutely true. No one hates capitalism more than so called capitalists. In America, like 'socialism,' the term is used to bully and cajole. Never to describe an ideal.

@Pappy@thepit.social look at all the handouts corporations take from the government. They could not survive without taxpayer paid subsidies... then they turn around a pocket the "profit," which should be paid to all of us as unwilling investors.

@Pappy@thepit.social Marx has FAR better things to say about capitalism, as per Smith, Ricardo, et al, than do today's American "capitalists" who are "regulated" to abide by actual capitalism.
