How is this a meme
Also classic lammy.ml hating everything about the west
How is this anti western? Pretty much every country in the world is capitalist by now.
Well to be fair to hating the west for committing genocides to accomplish this, it's not like a lot of them had a choice.
Very Similar to how Christianity became a world religion at the end of a spear. However Capitalism is about as anti-Christ as any economic system can be.
... But at which end...
All the good ones, anyway. Lol.
Too mean?
The good ones tend to do something in-between, with a market based economy, but good regulations, solid welfare, and democracy. Scandinavian countries have the happiest populations in the world, maybe we should try to learn from them.
Unfortunately corporations get more power over time instead of less. They have an ever growing pile of money to buy media and politicians to push their interests, that's probably the greatest challenge of democracy.
Sometimes corporations get bigger, sometimes they get toppled by new competitors. A lot of them that we think of as unstoppable are barely hanging on by a thread. Twitter/X and Facebook are examples that come to mind. People don't realize how much power they as consumers have.
It's a meme because some people don't understand that monetary system isn't political.
I think the meme are OP's political ideas
