It’s a pretty basic cornerstone to leftist economic theory that wealth accumulation, capital accumulation, and class distinctions rely on exploitation and deprivation of poor people, workers, and colonized peoples.

Stop calling liberal capitalists “leftists” because they believe in killing the poor slighlty less than conservatives. Capitalists are not “the left”,



Because no damned leftist is going to treat class as a neutral category or view the suffering of the poor as unrelated to the wealthy.

Now you can disagree with that, I think you’re wrong factually, but you can at least do that honestly.

But it’s either super ignorant or super dishonest to frame the idea of rich people as unblameworthy for poverty as a thing that leftists would just readily concede.
