I should make this clear:
When I complain about capitalism, I'm not attacking business owners and such. I genuinely understand the the mental gymnastics necessary to balance one's own comfort with the desire to not sink anyone else's lower.
When I confidently say the words "Smash capitalism!" in the context of person or persons to be censured, I speak of the ones who hold sufficient power to steer us in a better direction, yet continue to make everyone else's situation worse. Fuck those guys.

@ElectricKeet For what it's worth I never think of anyone saying "smash capitalism" or complaining about business as anything other than what you just said.
@KoBunny Good. *hugs* I really worry sometimes that I get strident about complex issues without sufficiently buffering the good folks from the blast. You're definitely one of the good folks, and I'm proud to have been (and, on occasion, continue to be) a part of what you've built.
