The far left thinks "capitalism" is a bad word the way the far right uses "communism".

Democrats are having fights right now over whether they're capitalists or socialists and it's so fucking stupid. Pointless arguments that hand the country to the right.

Incredibly important midterms coming up and we seem more interested in attacking each other than defeating Republicans.

    DSA are not anti capitalist. They are barely left leaning by the standards of the rest of the world.

    The real fight being had are between corporatists and populists.

    The DSA are anti-capitalist based on their own writings. Their electoral wing is clearly not anti-capitalist and there's a huge pro-capitalist social democracy camp within DSA, but the organization is rhetorically anti-capitalist.

    The far left doesn't think capitalism is a bad word. They think it's a failed system.

    Democrats are currently demonstrating exactly what their role is in society - protect the fascist right from a left-wing challenge. Democrats are the moderate wing of fascism, just like they were in Germany a century ago
