"When you are either supporting or criticizing something it helps to know precisely what that thing is. The issue I've found with much of my discourse with the right(both on this website and in the real world) as well as the left is that there is some confusion about what exactly Capitalism is."
Exactly. It's the same issue with criticizing socialism and communism. In my experience, "critics," and I surround it with quotes because their "criticisms" are frequently simplistic and cliche rather than elaborate or thought-out, almost invariably fail to know what they even are.
Exactly, the image the right presents the left as is a strawman.
They can't argue against the left, so the make up stuff to argue against, declare themselves intellectually superior and give themselves applause.
This is exactly why Jordan Peterson refuses to debate any actual leftist, because he knows he won't do well.
