The diagram #capitalist liberals don’t want you to see
Capitalists frame the debate about #capitalism as one of consent versus coercion and argue that capitalism is acceptable because workers consent in the legal sense to the labor contract. Democratic theory recognizes a distinction among voluntary contracts i.e. consent to alienate vs. consent to delegate. Capitalists can’t appeal to this distinction because capitalism and political #democracy are on opposite sides

I appreciate the reply, and your understanding
