re: #509 klys (maker of Silmarils)

Can you be progressive and not think capitalism is completely horrible?

Asking for a friend.

To me it’s all in how you view Capitalism. If you view it as an end in itself, almost as a religion, you’re almost certainly not progressive. If you see it as an economic system that works because it rewards risk taking and innovation, but which naturally concentrates wealth and power and therefore needs to be carefully and prudently regulated, then you can be a Progressive.
