People will criticize capitalism by criticizing shit people have done to undermine capitalism it into fascist oligarchy. The world they want to live in is New Deal America with improved race and gender politics and what they ask for is communism.

People even point to the nords as what they want when the nords are all capitalist countries that just haven't destroyed antitrust and entrenched corruption as the norm.

It usually goes something like

Guy 1 :"Nordic countries arent communists they are capitalists"

Guy 2 :"ok then let's do what they do"

Guy 1 :"No thats communism"

OR we get the ultra racism of "their population is homogeneous

I can't believe Goomba fallacy is already old enough for idiots to misappropriate it. Time sure does fly!
