Specifically, what arguments fail (that support capitalism) due to faulty evidence, misunderstanding of capitalism, lack of knowledge regarding Marxism, etc.?
“Having money is nice, I want to have a lot of money because I love spending money, and I want my personal freedom regarding the way I spend my money. I work hard for my money, and so do others. That leads to innovation and progress and is the only way to preserve freedom. Therefore, I support capitalism, and therefore, I am a capitalist.”
Free Market is bullshit…
And SO easy to debunk. It’s SO easy to attack the idea of the Free Market and construct logical arguments backed with real world examples to explain why it’s such a shitty, unworkable idea that opens the door for massive abuse.
And when you’re talking to a true believer, it all goes in one ear and out the other.
Probably not the most, but:
“Capitalists are job creators.”
The jobs will exist with or without them.
Well. There are some jobs that like. Aren’t actually real. Instagram influencers for instance. You don’t need somebody wiggling their ass or abs at you and telling you their favorite cereal flavor if the goal is just to sell decent cereal instead of inventing a bunch of wierdass subflavors based on marvel characters to try and get people to buy shit they don’t actually need for way too much money.
Capitalism = Freedom. We are slaves to the system, and escape is near impossible.
Monetary value = social value. Capitalists constantly equivocate the two concepts.
