Just because people want something doesn't make it good

why do they want it if capitalism is so good?

It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed hungry person. True freedom can only be where there is no exploitation and oppression of one person by another; where there is not unemployment, and where a person is not living in fear of losing his job, his home and his bread. Only in such a society personal and any other freedom can exist for real and not on paper.

Isn't that similar to Orostans quote from a certain mustachio?

Charging in to local DSA organizing meetings dressed like this and denouncing them for revisionism and then assaulting a random person, it seems. Very productive.

Ope yeah that's what I was referencing.

Of course you could go with the other side of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, which is led largely by a guy who tried to blow up his neighbor's swingset and then accused her of racism for reporting him.

Think western Maoists are terrible? You'll fit right in with Jason Unruhe and his clan of Maoist-Third Worldist. You can sit around and complain all day while "critically supporting" third world countries. Just look up a pic of the guy, it's so much worse than you think.
