    Socialist = Freeloader🙃

    I don’t suspect you’re someone who will debate in good faith, but I’ll bite anyway.

    It’s actually the opposite, Capitalists are freeloaders because they only need to own, and because they own, they can extract from the value of the labor of other people.

    If the means of production are shared among the laborers, then the laborers get to proportionally share the fruits of their own labor, without a freeloader owner skimming off without helping.

      So here’s the thing, we live in a capitalist society, and that’s the reality I’m living in. We can sit here all day and debate it, but that will not change the facts, and until the rules change I will conduct myself as such.🤷🏾‍♂️

        You haven’t contradicted anything I’ve said.

        I agree, I also live in reality, in a capitalist society, with labor-exploiting ownership overlord freeloader elites, and I will happily call them out for it.

          To put it another way…

          There’s nohing to the debate. The opposing views would be the fantasy world that you want and the reality that I’m OK with living in.

          and I will happily call them out for it

          And that’s all what online leftism is about, being really loud online, and non-existent in real life.

          That’s another reason not to even waste time debating as the only place I hear all the Marxist bullshit is online. Makes me wonder if all the chatter is coming from professional troll farms in nefarious countries.

              Mad lol, silly rabbit, I’m not a snowflake that gets affected by online conversations. Besides, what do I have to be mad about? I think society is just fine, you’re the one hoping for drastic change.🤷🏾‍♂️😉👍🏾

                You got so affected by someone online touting socialism that you just had to call them a freeloader, so I’m not sure that’s true.

                It’s nice that you have to make up things about me to feel better about yourself.
