> bootlicking drivel

Who's boots? What are you talking about? I didn't make a single value judgement in favor of one system or the other!

Be civil!

> abolishing capitalism in favour of socialism

> There are even variants of socialism that embrace markets and competition, and almost all allow ownership of _personal_ means of production...

Socialism and capitalism are not opposite ends of a yardstick. I am _not talking about socialism_. Limiting the ability to own property or trade _is the same thing_ as limiting freedom. One has literally limited the abilities of another. These are not opinions, but rather _pure deduction lead to a non-controversial point_. You can keep insulting me or you can engage. Have a good day!




The boots of the oppressive global capital class.

You asserted that the abolition of capitalism would result in depravation of freedom.

That is a value judgement.

It is also not true. It is a rephrasing of a line that anti-socialsts have been using for over 100 years. Therefore, propaganda.

I don't care that you're trying to hide the structural violence of capitalism under a veil of civility.
