The biggest ignorance of most socialists and indeed communists is the idea that capitalism is a political system. It is not. That is basically part of the brain rot in the liberals mind as well. “oh, don’t go left, because then you’ll destroy capitalism”.

Thanks for writing that right at the top, discrediting the rest of your uninformed rant. Politics and the economy are fundamentally inseparable because at its core the economy is about allocation of labor and resources. Capitalism is inherently political because it states that the means of production are privately owned, and it's the people who own them who get to decide towards what purposes labor and resources are allocated.

The fact that you don't even understand the fundamentals of politics and economy perfectly highlights who has a simple mind creating a simple world.
