Pro-market anti-capitalism

Many on the left conflate markets with capitalism and oppose both. This is a mistake. Markets freed from capitalism where every workers’ inalienable right to worker democracy may be useful, and help avoid the calculation problem. That being said, I’m highly sympathetic to those that seek to explore what might be possible without markets as that area is under-explored. Ultimately, we should emphasize worker coops

    Many on the right also conflate markets with capitalism. It’s a lot easier to paint anti-capitalists are loons if you portray them as being opposed to markets.
