the real reason he didn't deduct the wish from your total is because that would make him a wish fund manager

Problem as always with these Wishes. You didn't really clarify what we will have instead of capitalism. Now he changed the world to some entire new system that no one ever thought of before that is even worse. :o You need to state as much detail as possible when wishing
abolishment
*abolition
Both words are considered acceptable, although abolition is indeed preferred.
I also concur that the esteemed poster is indubitably correct.
'Course, we also ain't tryin' to write all fancy-like here. We's writin' colloquially, see?
So, I haven't been on Lemmy for very long, but one thing seems to be true here, just like on Reddit: People don't understand nuance and are only drawn to extremes. There's sooo much going on between facism and unchecked capitalism and communism, but so many people here are just willfully ignoring that, apparently 🙄
or maybe you don't have some especially well considered, enlightened perspective, and people here believe the things they do for reasons that align with their life experience and education, just as with yourself. taking a centrist stance is not some objectively superior position from which to view politics. you aren't endowed with special insight for choosing the midpoint between ideologies that contradict each other.
yes, lengthy, nuanced, disputations, are just what the four panel comics, on the meme forum, needs.
Lemmy was made by Marxists, and the FOSS community itself has lots of Marxists and Anarchists.
It isn't that people here are willfully ignoring nuance, people have legitimate views that are considered extreme outside Lemmy, because Lemmy's structure brings them here instead of Reddit.

It isn't, which is why much theory and practice has occured since the inception of these ideas, and grown over time.
