    Sweden has socialized medicine and education.

    You contribute to capitalism as much as any other citizen.

    Do you buy things?

    Do you work for money?

    You promote capitalism too. Even by being on Lemmy. You promote capitalism.

    Your mental gymnastics to blame other citizens is ridiculous.

    There are actual people responsible. And they aren’t your fellow powerless neighbors.

    They are as guilty as you are.

      Social safety nets like medicine and education are not socialism. Socialism is a mode of production characterized by public ownership as the principle aspect of the economy, and the working classes in charge of the state. Buying things and working for a living is not “promoting capitalism,” it’s existing within it. Someone deliberately saying “we need capitalism, imperialism, and genocide” like liberals do, who continue to prop up the DNC and GOP, are the ones promoting capitalism. You’re projecting hardcore right now.
