I take more of a Habermasian approach. It’s not means of production and capitalism run amok. It’s more of a colonization of life world by instrumental rationality. I think there are aspects of capitalism that make sense, but the problem is capitalism should not be instrumentalizing governments to further increase capital.
But the other point is, I can’t be an ostrich putting my head in the sand (or maybe this case the clouds). I live in a capitalist world and will likely die in some form of one. So I do practically need to engage in it and get advice on how to navigate it to survive, enjoy life, etc. And right now, it’s hard to find those kinds of people that can discuss navigation of living under the reality of capitalism and day to day shit with the leanings of the Lemmy base today.
Regardless of POV, there’s pretty much no way not to engage in capitalism and support capitalism in some direct or indirect way. It’s everywhere. Even in FOSS.
I just hate how these types of comments seem to be so prevalent on lemmy. This is a thread about some crazy mass shoplifting with bear spray cans and 30 to 50 people involved. Not every convo needs to be a what about ism about communism being good, capitalism bad.
