What exactly does being "Anti-Capitalist" mean? Against private property ownership?
Most people who refer to themselves as this actually don't understand 'capital'
They should just refer to themselves as 'anti greed' or anti monolopy or something.
It reminds me of the same arguments used by anti gunners.
The fact is however money to invest and locked away firearms don't hurt anyone, they're just tools.
Capital gets a lot of stigma projected onto it by people who don't under stand money.
It's kind of sad.

>Against private property ownership
yes. socialism is the abolition of private property.
Ideally against corporate interests superseding interests of the people and formation of conglomerate monopolies.
In reality what the "Marxist-communists" mean by Anti-capitalism is
>I fucked up in life and it is not my fault, no one should ever fail, if one person suffers then all must suffer, people like me deserve to lead this country because we would care about everybody.

its not capital thats the problem is captialism, the idea that everything should be sacrificed for the sake of capital. greed is not a bad thing but surrendering every other aspect of your society to the goal of building more and more capital is suicidal

Communism is. Socialism is the public ownership of the means of production.
I fucked up in life but don't want to admit it so i'll blame 'the man'

Not either, socialism have dozen of variation , this one is amongst other.
Nazy socialism is not the same than soviet socialism

But that's pretty much the core tenet of socialism, is it not? The internet seems to agree with me.
Capitalism is unsustainable in the long run.
Can you really expect all this competition and advertising to lead to anything good?
The fact that our society is based on competition rather than cooperation will be our ultimate downfall.

It's generally "Give me things other people earned".
I'm not 100% for capitalism, in many way.
Taken to extremes, it can be as bad as anything else.
I'm against monopolies pushing potential competitors down, and businesses infringing employee rights and treating their workers like shit.
But in general, I support capitalism because why should some people work more than others, just to earn the same amount.
In an anti-capitalist society, no one invests in themselves. We would not have doctors or lawyers when you can get the same out of being a garbageman.
Anti-capitalism is stupid and much for the same reason I dislike treating employees poorly, it produces a culture of productivity.
A stagnant society.

>it produces a culture of UNproductivity.
Sorry, fixed. Autocorrect.
Anti-Capitalism is against the private ownership of capital. That's not the same as all private property, just against using property in itself to generate wealth.
So if you were a landowner who charges rent and who pays someone else to manage your land and perform repairs, and you never do any work on it, you just get paid for owning it, people would say that's bad since you're extracting resources from other people without doing anything.
I'm not endorsing the position but that's the argument.

Competition breeds excellence. Ever notice how inefficient any company with no competition becomes?

>WAAAAAAH I'M BEING OPPRESSED
>BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO WAY OF FORCING ME TO DO ANYTHING WITHOUT THE GOVERNMENT'S HELP
>WAAAAAAH WE NEED MORE GOVERNMENT
I fucking love Commie bootlicker memes, they're so cringy. Literally begging on your knees for the government to come and steal more of your money, and calling anyone else bootlickers. Just fucking admit that your oppressors are agents of government, the exact same people whom Libertarians want to defang.
Oh wait, that's right, that would require you to acknowledge that the problem isn't that people own property and can invest their wealth, the problem is the government that forcefully takes your money and gives it to them, which would literally disprove your entire ideology.
