Donald Trump’s new security directive labels anti-capitalist beliefs as a predictor of political violence. The irony: left-wing structural analysis actually pushes people away from lone-wolf attacks and toward mass organizing for change.
I remember running around twenty years ago asking people (generally educated successful people) how they define capitalism.
Most people are not 100% sure, so they usually guess some form of market and blend it with consumerism.
My guess is that most of this came from Mikhail Gorbachev advertising for Pizza Hut.
One simple definition of capitalism is making money from ownership instead of from work.
