      A liberal believes capitalism is broken and needs to be fixed.

      A socialist believes capitalism is working as intended and needs to be destroyed.

        What’s someone who believes capitalism is broken and needs to be destroyed?

          Someone who doesn’t have conspiracy-brain. The people that say capitalism is working as intended seem to live by the inverse razor of “never attribute to collective stupidity of the implementors what can be attributed to deliberate malice by illuminati-like mechanisms.”

            Nah anarchists also fall within the “capitalism is working as intended and must be destroyed” camp. They just have different ways of doing it.

      Liberals are, to quote Phil Ochs: “ten degrees to the left of center in the good times, ten degrees to the right of center when it affects them personally”
