Once again making me yearn for the day that a communist can just flippantly say shit about capitalism and then the institutions around them do not budge.
"Oh, you want capitalism? So you think it's good when people drop nuclear bombs?"
"I get why you'd want capitalism, but I just don't think it's worth it to spend the finite resources on Earth on genocide though."
"It's okay to not like your manager, it's another thing entirely to arbitrarily split up and duplicate work so that you can gamble on a better boss. If they're really that bad, you'll all vote them out."
"The workplace isn't just for gambling with money, you know. People work there and actually help society."
"Oh, the reclaimed forest is taking up real estate? You want the trees to start paying rent? You want the tree money to buy politicians?"
The smarmy, smug shit I would say if I were simply given with power instead of having to be evaluated by LOSERS.
"Capitalism sounds good on paper but every time it's been tried it failed because of human nature"
I have actually used this one lmao
"Capitalism doesn't even work on paper. Obviously, communism is the better system." (A line I have used in response to "communism only works on paper".)
(I love the idea of a world in which socialism has become the default and capitalism is treated the way current Red Scare bullcrap treats "Scary Evil Communism".)

"The problem with capitalism is that eventually you run out of other people's resources"
"Why would you want capitalism? People starve and live on the streets in capitalist countries!"
"Alex, finish your mashed potatoes. There are poor kids your age starving in a capitalist country."
