      I feel like people dunk on the "you're criticizing capitalism from your iphone" callout without acknowledging its fundamental correctness. Innovation and the production of consumer goods are two things that capitalism really is better at, whatever your political stancehttps://twitter.com/AyoCaesar/status/1255758942833172490 …

      I realize any attempt to discuss this founders instantly in the swamp of definitions. But I think of capitalism as kind of like an engine for economic activity. Saying that it can make things go fast doesn't imply that you have to be against seat belts, air bags, toll roads, etc

      It's a shame that a couple of the old line socialist economies weren't left over after 1989 to illustrate that purely as a method of organizing an economy and broadly raising the standard of living, socialism was unworkable. The USSR had the biggest microchips in the world

      I also find it interesting that all sorts of quality of life metrics in the west, like real wage growth, flatlined with the death of the old Communist bloc. It makes me wonder if the ideological battle didn't serve as a check on some of the worst aspects of monopoly capitalism

      But all that said, yeah, if you're tweeting from your iPhone about consumer capitalism being irredeemable and wrong, your beliefs about the world are incoherent. There's a reason it's an iPhone, and not a WePhone!

      I can’t tell if this is trolling or serious. We didn’t choose to be born into a capitalist society where the best tech is both necessary and philosophically problematic. Should we be uber-principled and try to photosynthesise to avoid participating in this choiceless hell?

      This is a serious argument. My point is not to avoid technology, but to seriously address the fact that it was only a free enterprise system with significant protections on private property (one also seeded by massive government spending) that was able to produce a tech economy.

      You don't have to like anything about the current system, but be honest about it's strengths and why it wound up in a dominant position. The reasons go beyond evil capitalists in top hats scheming.

          I think most people are, or try to be. But we’ve also been taught to think about counter-factuals and fed a diet of Star Trek et al. We know in our bones that there are other possible systems for meeting human needs and that we may have to try them (again) soon.

          People in the west have also grown up in conditions of great material safety and comfort, which they tend to take for granted as a fact about the world, rather than a legitimate achievement of the socioeconomic system whose faults are so apparent to them
