These newborns looked up with tender eyes to their ancient siblings of sexism, imperialism, ethnocentrism, and homophobia.
This is juvenile — his critique has nothing to do about capitalism whatsoever and is simply using it as a pejorative to denounce the power structures
Interesting that he offers no definition of capitalism; it’s just a pejorative that he defines as a racist oppressor (one which enables him to make quite a lot of money from a rather free and yes competitive market).
Rights of contract, commerce, and property have lifted far more lives out of poverty — wait, am I being assimilationist in suggesting that is a good thing? — than any religion, social movement, or government.
And yet I throw the word capitalist out there, tying it to slavery, to imperialism, to genocide. That’s brilliant.
