I would assume the top answer would be "fuck capitalism" with a sprinkle of "lmao"

That sounds like strong left slightly lib

Capitalism is fucking us all equally so it shouldn’t be a lib idea only but you are probably right.

Nah the lib comes from the sprinkle of lmao

Liberalism is defined by support of capitalism, the two terms can often be used interchangeably.

You're looking at anarchism, communism, democratic socialism if you're opposed to capitalism.

Though experience tells me a lot of the people going "fuck capitalism" just want the capitalists and politicians to be a little less greedy and give some more crumbs to the working class within the imperial core.
