Sounds like it's spot on, actually.

Eh. Kinda Like getting mad at a fish for drinking too much water. Until we move away from unregulated capitalism, nothing will change.

Unregulated capitalism is what needs to go, in my opinion. Not business in general.

i think you find relatively few serious people who advocate for the second thing you say over the first.

the propaganda that works against the interests of the working class are the ones pushing that "the Left" want the latter instead of the former, and that lie is what pushes the most economically vulnerable to vote against their own interests when it comes to electing a government that will operate in the best interest of the citizenry, instead of the ones at the top profiting off of the system.

Yeah, jumping to "Well I guess ALL business has to go then" is a weird leap to take, and I'm not really sure where it came from.

Maybe the dudes at the top could just stop soaking all the money up, but what do I know I apparently hate all business.
