Gotta say I have no love for the big leftist subs but that's a pretty cheap shot.

Their choosing to purchase luxuries, in a world where luxuries must be paid for in a system they didn't design, choose or want to live under, doesn't negate that they are opposed to capitalism.

If you want to argue that they're possibly a bit too sanguine about the prospect of their favourite luxuries existing under communism or whatever, fair enough. But that's a separate argument from whether they're stupid to pay money for stuff that makes them happy.

Well nobody is, and that's not really what he said. Break it down, he's saying if a person wants something, it takes resources to acquire said thing. There's no force here, just intrinsic motivation.

There has to be a line somewhere where your ideology meets reality. Maybe that line doesn't extend to living off-the-grid on a commune and growing your own food, but I think we can safely put it at buying Reddit coins.
