@Josiah_Mannion exactly. The notion that #capitalism is "good" requires us to discard all the evil it enables, sponsors and even requires. It like ancient Romans declaring their #empire is the best thing ever for humanity. Or #feudal lords.
Also, saying that "capitalism is only an economic system" is a straw man argument to distract us from discussing ethics, moral, social and ecological values which should be part of any acceptable economic theory.
