Edited to add - To be clear for anyone, it's Oligarchs/Billionaires paired with rampant, unfettered corporate greed. (at least in my view)

Someone reminded me that I was using dogwhistle parlance in my use of they which may have suggested otherwise.

Here are some visual aids to accompany my clarification:

Your political affiliation based on what came to your mind when you read the title

At this point the answer should be billionaires regardless of affiliation.

A) What the fuck are billionaires? The bourgeoisie.

B) What facilitates this perversion? The bourgeois system.

Billionaires aren't the problem they're the symptoms of disease. Rejection of this fact shows the early stages of your radicalization.

I think the libertarian left quadrant is the only valid one, and it's become very obvious at this point

The global economy is this monster of debt and overly clever math that is actively collapsing, there's no fixing it, and even if we did somehow, each boom-bust is exponentially larger than the last one

And if you take the economy out of the equation, it's a really simple question. Do you want people to suffer or not? Are you pro-horrors beyond comprehension, or do you prefer less suffering?

So yep... We should all be calling them the billionaires at this point

lol. I get the joke. Still, I just think anyone work a working brain should be able to notice that

  • the bourgeoise just follows their masters
  • neither Bezos nor Musk are Jews
  • that “we” are not powerful enough unless we’re billionaires

You can hate Jews, brown people, black people, gingers, trans people and others as much as you want and still recognize that.

Unless your brain isn’t working right (eg MAGA) or you are economically benefiting (eg bourgeoisie). I guess you could put that onto a 2d graph as well.

Everyone believes that their hatred is more righteous than everyone else's.

Saying left libertarian is like saying anarcho-capitalist but it sounds dumber.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

anarcho-communist sounds even more retarded tbh

It means non-authoritarian and anti-capitalist. The US version of libertarian, which are just capitalists that want the market to be the government, is not the definition of the word.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

is not the definition of the word.

Unfortunately, though, it is now. At least here.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

On that note, you know many words have multiple definitions, so even if a definition colloquially exists, that differs from the one of most wide use, doesn't mean that in that local, the wider use case is suddenly void.
