So you‘re saying Coy‘s analysis so precisely defines capitalism it amounts to calling for its abolishment and therefore contradicts the Times‘ official stance?

They elevate his words and give him a platform, so, yeah.
Would you feel the same if they posted a Richard Spencer opinion piece on their platform?

The point of the editorials is to publish dissenting views. If you don’t understand the difference between dissenting political speech and hate speech, then there’s nothing I can really say here.

The people defending this economy are defending the innumerable victims it creates. I don’t consider defending capitalists who literally do and have poisoned towns of children for sociopathic maximization of private profit to be somehow better than a white nationalist hypothetically poisoning a specifically minority town of children for their sick race games.
Neither is better than the other, one is merely accepted solely because they are in charge. People who are eager to profit off the misery of others belong locked away in mental health facilities, our society has simply forgotten that greed, oh I’m sorry “rational self-interest,” is every bit as destructive as hate, and historically more effective at it.

So you want to silence all capitalists and have all major news outlets refuse to publish any dissent? Got it, that sounds like a wonderful world.
