A good case study that even otherwise principled and clear-minded communist-sympathizing people can forget there’s a difference between “I hate capitalism” and “I hate [the form of thing when it is distorted by capitalism]”. And that when we are immersed in capitalism, it’s easy to assume a thing is inherently a thing because it’s what we’re used to. Rather than it being a thing in a form unique to capitalist dictatorship. If that’s overly vague, then good in this case. I want people to think about it beyond the immediate reaction.
