I’m pretty sure they just operate on reflex. I say I think democratization of production is a good thing, they say that I’m suddenly a hardcore USSR Stan and want to Purge everyone who disagrees with a Supreme leader. I truly don’t think someone thinking coherently and logically can make these leaps, they must be purely operating on anti-socialist reflex.
They wouldn’t even answer straight when I asked which is better, a factory that is democratically controlled, or a factory that is owned solely by a Capitalist, then said I’m as dangerous as a fascist.
Yep, for these people Capitalism is the only thing that has ever existed and is the only thing that will ever exist, so there’s no point in advocating for better, as it can’t be better. Real “end of history” neoliberal bullshit.

Love it. Often I’ll frame “better” in terms of individualism. Licking a boot as an individual is better than bargaining as a group I guess 🤷
