Zachary Woodman on the descriptive limitations of #capitalism and #socialism From NSP 68 🏴 youtu.be/cNWsCc7alyk-f @zacharywoodman.bsky.social @notesonliberty.bsky.social @c4ssdotorg.bsky.social

“We’ve gotten to the point in popular discourse where both the words ‘capitalism’ and ‘socialism’ have so little cognitive content. At this point they’re just signals of tribal identity. I don’t think they’re even referring to a consistent set of principles or historical circumstances.”
- Zachary Woodman of Notes on Liberty and C4SS
