Also, I shouldn’t have to tell a leftist that capitalism isn’t “when you have markets.”

A stock market is trade in the ownership of the means of production by private individuals, ffs

It is one of the innovations of capitalism. Jesus Christ.

Owning stock in a company does not give you control over the means of production. Sorry bud. Also, I don't remember Marx ever claiming that every innovation of capitalism must be discarded to achieve socialism. Has no one actually read Capital?
