Wait, I can post my AI stuff here?
- This is dbzer0, of course you can :)
- Yeah, dbzer0 is an AI friendly instance, it's not just allowed, it's encouraged.

anyone have this in a b&w format i can use with my label printer?
- I'll do you one better. Here's a cleaned-up vector: SVG, PDF
  
  You, comrade, are a saint.
- Please share a picture if you make it physical! I'd love to see something I 'made' in the real world.

Libs are by definition capitalists, no need for redundancy.
- The vast majority of liberals aren't capitalists (they will never own capital), they're capitalist bootlickers. This distinction is important because no matter how hard the liberal licks the boot most of them will die as wage slaves.
  
  I more meant the ideology and the politicians of it, not the voter base.
  You are correct though.
- As an ideology, yes.
  As a class; no. They're class traitors deluded into self hate.

Punching capitalists just annoys them and gets the cops involved. We need more Luigis (allegedly).

This would be great on a POG slammer

But only to tenderize them for consumption.

Is a capitalist just someone who believes in private property?
- A capitalist is someone who owns the means of production as private property.
  This is not the same as personal property (your phone, toothbrush, house, etc.)
- POW you just got punched! we're punching everybody over here now.
- I would think the image uses the class definition of capitalist. (Part of the owning class, not the working class)
  Otherwise, technically, if the means of production are owned by the people or the state, then other private property(not used for production) can exist without capitalism. So you could have someone who believes in private property but not capitalism. But you're basically right.

Oh this would go so great on the lamposts next to the main street in my town

Can we just punch people with fist-size heads who wear top hats & $ lapels?
That seems like less work.

Punch

In many countries, some of the biggest capitalists are pension funds. Should I go punch myself?
- you arent a capitalist (i assume) just living off a system reliant on capitalist means (which we all are)
  
  Yea that's my point.
  Punching a capitalist was a thing when capitalists were individuals. Nowadays, with the exception of the billionnairest of billionnaires, capitalists are mostly institutions.

There is no need to get violent as you can simply not support them financially.
- Spoken just like a liberal....
- Theres no need to sleep inside or avoid starving to death either.

Right let's pull a Stalin instead, that seems smart. Who needs capitalism when you can let the government control all the wealth.
- As your name suggests, go fuck yourself!
  
  Seems fun: any tips on how to best go about that?
  
  Wow you're so mature!

Idealists are far more dangerous and lead to death for millions and authoritarian fools. Assuming mass altruism is a viable alternative is a dystopian path to tyranny. Capitalism is an STI ridden ugly whore for sure, and tat is exactly how companies should be treated. Killing capitalist ventures is a noble and valiant pursuit under true capitalism. What the USA has is neo feudalism and not capitalism at all. Liberalism is not an excuse to let criminals proliferate. Liberalism is live and let live it is FIRST, do no harm it is the right to be stupid, to be wrong, to live in peace as who you are, it is acknowledging that the world is far too complicated to oversimplify in the scope of a few political idiots that will kill edge case individuals, it is saying we are not all the same and that is okay.
We don't need some charismatic hero (always the megalomaniac narcissist). We need someone that has the sense to get out of the way of people and goes alpha crazy misogynist on companies and corporations across the board strangling some hoes until better options are available and a culture of ethics exists. Companies are not people and can and should be massively prejudiced.
- why can liberals never criticise something without misogynistic/homophobic sexual metaphor?
  for fucks sake i wish i could go one day without the triggering imagery of sexual violence being repurposed for your moralistic magical thinking exercises.
- Feudalism is a production relation between an ruling class of landed elites and a peasantry which lives on their land in exchange for a portion of their produce. There were other production relations within feudalist societies but this is the defining one. What you are witnessing is a transitionary period between capitalism and fascism. America is capitalist in that the primary production relation that shapes its political superstructure is between a ruling class of capitalist who own the means of production (businesses) and the proletariat who must sell their labor to the capitalist in order to survive for they do not have the means to produce or the capital to acquire it. Referring to the US as neo-feudal is nonsensical as that production relation does not exist anymore and couldn't compete with capitalism if it did.
  Here is an early but well informed explaination of fascism. You may find it helpful
- TL;DR
- you use too many big words when smaller ones would do just fine
  grow
- No no, no bro listen, you don't understand, what we have here is adjective capitalism, it isn't true capitalism. Bro, if we just capitalismed better things would be so chill. Capitalism is good I promise
- Watch out for my "Save the World" sticker.
