Seemed like before COVID every chance you have a convo with a young breh or somebody a mf bringing up socialism or some weirdo shyt. Smh. Then when you try to explain why systemically that shyt can’t sustain itself and add the human nature element to it they get to going on about “whataboutism” etc but thankfully it seems a lot of em wisened up, and getting up to speed about entrepreneurship, trades or going back to school and leave all that broke boy babel to the weirdo blacks and cacs
It's freshman-junior year college campus talk. Listened to the commentary then from others. Not surprisingly, the exact same people are now avowed capitalists . Displaying the conspicuous consumption that they criticized as young adults.

They haven't rapped like Common, since.

Yea a few years ago if you didn't agree with anti capitalism and socialism you were considered a trump supporter.
Obviously being in the middle is the best place to be because while we need social services and safety nets we don't need to be taxed out of enjoying the money we work hard for and obliterated with high consumer pricing

Your first comment is a dodge.

Saying down with the system is easy, I guess. Answering direct questions about how that will happen requires thought .

Posting quotes of MLK criticizing capitalism doesn't address my point about criticizing the system while crafting ways to navigate the current reality. Which King also did.
This is a deflection.

Agreed, but generally when society swings one way, the fringe gets bigger by default though still a small minority. When countries swing conservative the right wing nuts raise their profile and the same for socialists as society swings liberal.

Everyone should read this. You can have a critique of capitalism without adopting bad faith solution-empty rhetoric that sustains discontent for revolution or incrementalist change:salute:
