J Lou@mastodon.socialto Leftism@lemmy.world•Still thinking about the time Matilda said this...0·1 year agoSocialism vs capitalism is a false dichotomy.

A scientific analysis that gets basic facts about the structure of property rights in the capitalist system wrong, and uses value theory to critique a property system
Moral arguments can help make people class conscious and recognize their oppression. Morality can motivate people to act, gives them a coherent structure for guiding action, and give direction. Morality is an important tool that enables people to coordinate without authority
