Most Americans also hate this system haha. I mean, McCarthyism still has its effects to this day, and maybe the people I’ve met are not representative of the general population, but I literally haven’t met one American “in love” with capitalism. The most pro-capitalist argument you’ll get here is “well yeah capitalism has its flaws, but it’s the best we got”…which is a bullshit argument, and is in fact the same argument the south used to convince people to keep slavery around fyi.

Unfortunately tho, a lot of usonians are still virulently anti-communist, and even the vaguely progressive ones just want nordic-style social democracy, where capitalists still stand above the political system, and where social services are funded off the backs of the world's poor via import taxes.
