All liberal capitalists want a full on chain of commands and dictator level control over their ~~domain~~ employees. The only difference is that they want “market forces” to force people to work for them instead of violence.

Poverty is violence. The extra steps change nothing.

It outsources the blame and hides the connection from those who lack critical thinking.

Yeah thats true. Maybe this is like reading into the nuance of how a work camp is better than a death camp because you at least produce something before dying a horrible death. But i still stand by my opinion that the meme isnt completely true.

I would certainly not say that adding extra torment by forcing people to work as a profit incentive for capitalists would make said death camp any less abhorrent.

Yes thats what im saying in my comment? Maybe my language was unclear but i meant that my original comment is also a useless comparison.
