"Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell."
Edward Abbey
Specifically for neoliberal capitalism, it's a fitting metaphor. The lack of tying capital to any concrete resources, constraints or externalities, with a supposition that infinite capital growth is possible, would actually lead to... the 20th century. Though nobody really buys this anymore, and is clearly just a justification to do horrible things in the name of making money. While greed has and will always destroy lives, communities and environments, the real damage of neoliberal capitalism is that it's ahistorical. Removing people from the philosophical and social context in which the system was born and operates, makes it hard to see and hard to question for most people.
๐ Communists centralized economy.
What party of "worker ownership of the means of production" is too complex for you?
The genocide part.
Ohhh - you believe an obvious authoritarian regime when they said they're communist. I suppose you'll defend the DPRK as a robust democracy for the same big brain reason.
I'm not sure what any of this has to do with economics, but you've made your irrelevant, dumb, definitionally wrong point - I hope it brought you some brief satisfaction.
Ya done yet? Fuck off commie.
You're trying to insult me with a word you've just proven you don't understand, and you expect that to sting rather than look pathetic?
I'd tell you to just grab a dictionary, but with your tongue buried that deep in the arsehole of the billionaires that are robbing you blind, that'll be a bit much to ask - maybe take a step back, eh? Sort your life out.
You're too stupid for there to be any sport in this, and too ideologically chucked to learn - yeah - I'm done with you.
