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.
Maybe start a commuist revolution, then no one woud need to talk about capitalism?
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.
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.
