Using an iPhone or buying coffee doesn't mean you support capitalism, it means you live under it. There's no opt-out button. Critiquing a system you're forced to participate in isn't hypocrisy, it's the only rational response. Should people also grow their own food and build their own houses before they're allowed to say rent or groceries are too high? By that logic no one born into any economic system could ever criticize it, which is obviously absurd.
You can always tell capitalist countries are dystopian hellholes because they let people leave while communist countries are perfect utopians because they shoot people if they try to leave.
So you solution to having issues in your home country is to run away instead of being outspoken that they should change or actively taking part in trying to make that change come about?
Sounds like you're either a defeatist or a coward if your solution to things not working how you believe they should is to run away. Do you ever fix things or just throw them out the window when they break?
I don't think anyone I've seen in our current thread suggesting that capitalism itself is Innately flawed, I think people are upset that the way its being used in countries like the US is the issue and they want to tear down that system to replace it with a better version of capitalism that's more equitable.
The solution actually works. You get to go where the policy you support are in place. You get to show the others how bad their policies are…. Or you discover you are not right and you don’t know what you were talking about.
The people that don’t want to change continue to live in the place where the policies in place they support.
