    Owning a truck isn’t capital, it’s apparently got to be a lot to make someone a capitalist.

    Owning a truck for personal transportation is literally personal property, not private property. Can you give me a quick definition according to Marxists of personal and private property?

    Because you speak as if you’re qualified to define leftist:

    That is not leftist or anti-capitalist, but simply “eat the rich”.

    I do not believe most humans think this great system for all but feel helpless,

    That is capitalist realism for you.

      It is possible, but not worth it.

      That is realism. Which is usually quite valuable if you want to change a system.

      You seem hell bent on apply the label capitalist as an epithet on just about everyone you respond to. Can you quickly tell us what you think it will accomplish?

        Okay, so no, you don’t. And you’re more interested in coming off as knowledgeable than learning (because you could just look it up in 5 seconds and give a definition), which is cowardly behavior.

        That is realism. Which is usually quite valuable if you want to change a system.

        Capitalist realism isn’t realism, it is specifically referring to the “end of history” narrative

        I’m using preciae language that would be understandable if you knew the first thing about socialism, which you claim to.
