Nothing really. Just wanted to make sure people knew I was referring to late-stage capitalism. (I’m also not from the US).
I think they’re wondering why you decided to exclude non-late stage capitalism.
Oh. Fair. Mainly that late-stage is where it gets the worst (maybe?). I’m not a huge fan of capitalism as a whole, but it just keeps getting worse.
Capitalism was forged from the purest of evil on day one, no stages necessary

I’ll ask you again - what are you clinging to? Why do you have to specify? Why do you think “regular” capitalism is worth defending?
maybe they meant the other stages dont have that problem? idk
edit: i found another comment of theirs explaining that. they believe the other stages are not as bad, basically
But they do, so I’ll ask again - what are you people who think there is any value in differentiating different “kinds” of capitalism clinging on to?
So for the record, I did not want to argue anything about capitalism. I know it’s bad, I don’t agree with it, it’s terrible. It’s just that late-stage is where it’s currently at. I in no way support any sort of capitalism. That’s it.
Please don’t assume what I didn’t say, I am not “clinging to” anything.
Sorry, but it’s just upsetting when someone takes what you say out of proportion to fit their own point of view or whatever.

Literally just asking you to clarify, and get you to think critically about why you phrase things the way you did.
If you don’t want either to happen, try doing them yourself first.
Edit to add: As for the actual point: all capitalism is bad, by only framing late stage capitalism as a problem (which is what you do when you take the time to come back and diferenciate it in a comment about capitalism being bad), you make it seem as if “regular” capitalism is fine, and that all we need to do is roll back to those good old days before it started impacting you.
You had it right the first time, and yet you took the time to come back and “correct” yourself, so you obviously thought it was an important enough distinction to make, when all it does it normalise “regular” capitalism, which is entirely self defeating, and why I’ve even bothered trying to get you to think critically about your comment instead of just disregarding you as a capitalism bootlicker.
Don’t want to think critically? That’s your choice. But at least take responsability for your own words.
