    You’re just going on giant hostile rants because you can’t admit that you don’t know the basic definition of the word capitalist and then accusing me of “gatekeeping” and “purity testing” because I do know the definition of that word

    A capitalist is a member of the class which owns the means of production under capitalism. Your racist Vietnam vet neighbor John isn’t a capitalist no matter how much boot he licks or how shitty he is.

      capitalist is a member of the class which owns the means of production under capitalism.

      You are talking about the ownership and management class under capitalism…

      Saying only managers and owners are the only people who can be capitalist is like saying only kings can be monarchist.
