Lol

I'm assuming you're a libertarian

Yee

well thanks for admitting you're a moron

jk

or am I

GG @ZetMo, you just advanced to level 1!

Damnit

You guys way overemphasise the extent as to which self-described liberals criticise capitalism

in America

the only country that matters

and sorry

as a socialist

Sometimes we do. I don't personally feel like I do though.

GG @VoVoDoCo, you just advanced to level 5!

Yeee

I don't view capitalism as either free or not free as if dependent on some particular policy or tax rate or whatever

Whether or not you'd consider a system 'free' is completely subjective

Capitalism is based on private ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange, as well as wage labour

Easy

Agreed lol

yeah

simple

Basic

so for me a libertarian is just a more radical liberal

who stole our word

so much for intellectual property protection

because unlike capitalism, socialism can exist without state management 😃

Liberalism, in the context of being Libertarians mother ideology, has always been about Market advocacy over social justice.
