    Capitalism creates an environment of fear and danger and promotes of level of individual responsibility that alienates people from everyone else. Even people who are well off today are afraid of losing advantages and being hung out to dry by the very same uncaring system they keep supporting.

        1. I never said the solution was full-blown communism. God, have the barest capability of nuance.

        2. You clearly aren’t smoking responsibly if you genuinely believe that to be true.

          You don’t understand Marx or Lenin if you don’t understand their belief in the relationship between capitalism and communism.

          My point was that there’s more nuance than just “capitalism always causes social fragmentation”
