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!

    Because basic economics is never taught properly in schools. People don’t understand what free healthcare/education/whatever costs. Because, at least in the US, universities are heavily politicized by anti capitalist mentality.

      Weird. I attended a university in Germany and paid like 300€/semester and got a government student loan so I have student debts of like 10K because everything the government lend me more than that is a gift. That’s how free education is working. If health insurance is mandated, this is working too.
