"Capitalism isn't bad, it's just late-stage capitalism that sucks"

Even if it was true, it's funny because of course the late stage of something comes after and from the early stage of it.

This is also just a labor imperialist perspective. They yearn for the time a few decades ago with stronger unions and slightly less domestic exploitation in the imperial core, they don't care about the exploitation of the global south.
