It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The guy doesn't even admit that capitalism exists, apparently. There's no evidence of the bourgeois class doing anything.

My man you are literally head of political economy at a think tank. What is there to think about if there are no people manifesting effects economically!?!

??? A business owner paying an employee minimum wage and seeking a profit from this exchange is a specific action taken by specific individuals.

This person is like a fish saying water doesn't exist if they see no actions performed by capitalists. Or their entire job is being as obfuscating as possible.

the job is to provide an assumed authority on a topic and obfuscate it so the liberals will just parrot the same thing to others because they're incapable of thinking

This is one of those situations where their salary depends on not admitting something.

Capitalism is just an invention by Karl Marx. It doesn’t exist. We simply live in a society. That’s all there is to it.
