    I’ve lived all my life under capitalism and I hate it.

    I’ve read Marx, (for real, grab the book and read it!) and I see the dude does have a point.

      How someone can downvote two subjective statements of opinion (hates capitalism, sees a point in a book) is beyond me. There’s nothing to downvote here. It’s an opinion, not a statement of fact that is incorrect.

      People misuse downvotes.

        That’s an easy question to answer. People often downvote comments that waste their time. Opinions that have no basis, or that are based on bad definitions or falsehoods, those tend to get downvoted. Because there’s nothing to learn and nothing to discuss.

          My approach is to only downvote factual inaccuracies or extremely terrible takes. I know that’s not for everyone, but I wish it was.

      I strongly recommend you to read Animal Farm, it’s very easy to understand
