    I’m left leaning, aka a “lib” and I’m a fan of things that are anti-capitalist.

    I think capitalism has outlived it’s usefulness, just like religion did when we created modern criminal forensics.

    At this point, we have so much in excess that if we did things in a reasonable and logical way, nobody would be homeless, nobody would go hungry.

    The people with the power (money) don’t want things to change, because they get to stay in power that way. The only way to oust them is to overthrow the system.

      This is not a lib mindset. It’s at least progressive if not further left. Libs will fight and die for capitalism, but they want the messaging to be nice about it.

        I have never met anybody who likes classical liberalism. I think they like social liberalism, like what EU does. More government, regulated capitalism, but still capitalism.
