"i can't participate in a normal, healthy discussion and refute the other person with clearly made out points so I am going to resort to ad-hominem insults to gaslight and invalidate his points."

the "wokeist" label wasn't directed at you, i'm more commenting about individuals that take issue with cApiTaliSm but not really addressing the issue properly. Wokeists THINK capitalism is wrong BECAUSE it is capitalism. I am all for income redistribution and support a just and equitable society if you're wondering before you come at me again.

In any case, you're the one asserting it's a scam, shouldn't you be the one explaining why capitalism is a scam? the onus is on you mate, not the person cross-examining you.
