Hi all,
I’m seeing a lot of hate for capitalism here, and I’m wondering why that is and what the rationale behind it is. I’m pretty pro-capitalism myself, so I want to see the logic on the other side of the fence.
If this isn’t the right forum for a political/economic discussion-- I’m happy to take this somewhere else.
Cheers!
The Lemmy developers are very anti-capitalist and this is one of the first instances, the one that they are most liked to. Like attracted like, leading to a lot of users being anti-capitalist.
Other instances have different internal cultures due to how and why they were formed.
I didn’t know this before joining Lemmy. But coincidentally I happen to not enjoy being a wage slave.
Yeah. I was just trying to answer OP’s question in a different context, as I took to being interpreted as either “why do you hate capitalism?” or “why does everyone here seem to hate capitalism?” and I answered the second question while most answered the first.
Are there other less anti-capitalist instances you can recommend? I am so tired of the constant <insert random normal problem here>, “oh, it’s because capitalism!” circlejerk.
A lot of the other ones are less anti-capitalist. The problem here is that no other instance seems to want to compete for AskLemmy since the community got built early here.
Maybe start a commuist revolution, then no one woud need to talk about capitalism?
Yeah, I’d like to be pointed to one too. I don’t mind talking to anti-capitalists, but the circkle-jerking is too much.
