No, Clyde - lick the boots of parasites if you want... but you are the one that needs to justify your beliefs. We who have seen through the fairy tales have no need to justify anything to the likes of you.
Look, if people come to you in good faith to learn and you reply like this, how are you expecting to organize and positively influence people around you? Are you gonna build socialist utopia alone?
The idea is to build stuff together right? If you're antagonizing everyone, how do you expect to achieve that?
No-one that unironically labels themselves "pro-capitalist" asks this in good faith... no-one. You've fallen for an "enlightened centrist" troll - and I see you're not the only one.
Dude, that is not the way to talk to someone if they are just trying to understand. They were raised in a capatilist country and were taught capatilism is the best. They are trying to expand their horizons and the way you responded will just make them think that we're all a bunch of assholes. Even if you wanted them to dig deep and find out why they care for capatilism that is not the way to do it. This is how we accomplish nothing but antagonism.
Lol! Have you noticed all the naive people on here expending large amounts of energy explaining their distaste of capitalism instead of making the enlightened centrist troll defend their beliefs?
