    Ah, thanks for the explanation. I wasn’t trying to defend anything, but I suppose I see how including the “now” in my original comment might be construed in a “things used to be better” way. Wasn’t my intention, I have no idea how it used to be anyway.

    Not going to edit the original though, for preservation of the context for this conversation.

      Of course. Yeah i didn’t think you meant it as a hard defense of anything. Your comment seemed totally well intentioned. And if capitalism was capable of good and not an inherently anti-social system then it ought to be like you’re describing.

      I think a lot of well intentioned people can get caught in that place of talking about how it ought to be instead of realizing why its not.
