Capitalism is an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and its use for the purpose of obtaining profit.[1][2] This socioeconomic system has developed historically in several stages and is defined by a number of constituent elements: private property, profit motive, capital accumulation, competitive markets, commodification, wage labor, and an emphasis on innovation and economic growth.[3][4] Capitalist economies may experience business cycles of economic expansion followed by recessions.[5]

.2. (economic liberalism) An economic system based on private property and the abstraction of resources into the form of privately owned capital, with economic decisions made largely through the operation of a market unregulated by the state.
They have you focused on old people so you are distracted from the fact that capitalism is the problem
This is the answer. The fad (psyop?) of blaming “boomers” for all the world’s ills is annoying AF.
My bad. Who votes for these senators, members of congress and presidential candidates in the primaries?
Anymore over the age of 18
Lol. You’d rather look like an idiot than lay any blame at the feet of boomers huh?
As someone who has phone banked and canvassed in multiple primaries: It’s boomers.
Gen Y is now the biggest voting bloc as far as generation breakdown.
If you think all the problems lie with…checks notes…the sixties generation, I have a bridge to sell you.
Gen Y doesn’t participate in primaries at the same rate as Boomers. You’d know this if you ever phone banked.
Regardless of age, anyone that’s voted for either shade of fascism is responsible. Liberals created this mess, conservatives created this mess.
If you’ve canvased for the oligarchy you are part of the problem
Who did you vote for in 2024, 2020, and 2016?
I can guarantee you voted for a lighter shade of fascism
I’m Canadian, and I voted either Libertarian or Green.
Again, who did you vote for?
Please answer or I will presume that you either didn’t vote, or you voted for Clinton, Biden, and Harris.
To be fair most old people clutch their pearls when you say radical things like “capitalism is the problem”… so yeah. They’ve ruined a lot of shit.
Please define capitalism.
I can use wikipedia. I suggest you learn how.
