    Yo I’m from Honduras and your corporations literally invaded my country when workers started complaining about the dismal work conditions. There was a straight up coup enacted by an American business owner, specifically to get someone who aligned with American corporate values. Now the only way things have shifted is you no longer send a fleet filled with armed people to get rid of protests, you simply shut down entire factories with single digit day notice if people start even speaking about unionizing. The empire still intervenes when they don’t like a political candidate, even now. I’m here to assure you that your take is just wrong. This is capitalism, and it evidently does not work.

      Yes. American corporations do this this is an absolute fact.

      I condemn such actions and hope for a better system at some point in the future or even now if it’s impossible.

      At no time have I defended capitalism.

      The issue is most of the time people on this platform don’t even know what their protesting against.

      Just under this comment alone there are people who don’t even know the definition capitalism.

      Capitalism absolutely does work. It is a completely functional system of finance and in some minor ways even governance. It’s not good it’s inherently evil but it does function I don’t know why people can’t just accept that objectively.
