When you reject corporate domination, they say you are anti-capitalist, as if if the aggressive control over state policy by mega – corporations for the exclusive benefit of owners and shareholders, operating through totalitarian institutions is actually a tenet of classic capitalist theory.
If you advocate protectionist economic policies they say you are against free trade; as if publicly subsidised international companies with budgets worth billions of dollars competing against small local industries has any resemblance to Free Market principles.
When you care about social justice and income inequality, they say you are Marxist or from the radical left-wing; as if poverty and suffering are theories we learn about in books, not from the living misery of our daily lives.
When you reject authoritarian systems they say you are anarchist; as if no alternative forms of social management exist.
