Specifically, what arguments fail (that support capitalism) due to faulty evidence, misunderstanding of capitalism, lack of knowledge regarding Marxism, etc.?

    Probably not the most, but:

    “Capitalists are job creators.”

    The jobs will exist with or without them.

        I think it’s stupid as much as anyone who’s not gen Z, but to claim it’s not real because it’s not something I can understand is a little boomer-like. Guess we’re doing the whole “everything from my childhood is how it should be and the previous/next generations are stupid/misguided if they disagree” shtick.

          Agreed. “Influencers” are making money because people are paying them. So it’s clearly lucrative for some reason that I’ll never understand.

            I think their argument is that the job exists because of capitalism and without the driving force of an economy being capital, the role of an influencer is gone.
