Why are folks so anti-capitalist? (programming.dev)

Hi all,

I'm seeing a lot of hate for capitalism here, and I'm wondering why that is and what the rationale behind it is. I'm pretty pro-capitalism myself, so I want to see the logic on the other side of the fence.

If this isn't the right forum for a political/economic discussion-- I'm happy to take this somewhere else.

Cheers!

Your description sounds so nice and fair - allowing everyone to take full control of their wealth.

So let me ask you: when was the last time you successfully negotiated the price of your groceries or utilities?

You don't. Because that "fairness" only exists between entities of equal power.
