Billionaires are bourgeoisie. The existence of the bourgeoisie does not mean a system is capitalist alone, what’s important is what is the principal aspect of the economy. You’re relying on the “one-drop” rule, which would imply that the existence of a public post office in the US means that the US is fully communist. That’s obviously ridiculous, private ownership is the principal aspect of the Statesian economy, but this is the limit of the “one-drop” rule.
Capitalism is a mode of production, not a class. I am not defending the permanent existence of the bourgeoisie, but instead defending a system where the bourgeoisie is waning and socialized production is rising. I am defending the transitional status as valid and moving, not a static, unmoving snapshot.
I never excused billionaires, I only defended socialism. Please, explain how your vehemont opposition to any movement that does not immediately result in communism makes you a “real socialist.” How do you think communism is to come into existence, if not through socialism?
Ban evasion is against the rules in most places, not just Lemmy.ml. Either way, they never made a complete point. They had a claim, but nothing to justify it or counter the Marxist understanding of socialism.

How can they when your mods delete their posts?
There’s no point debating in an echo chamber.
Ask stuff in good faith and be respectful, the mods don’t remove everything they disagree with
Just 99% of it.
