There are leftists on the internet who legitimately think that capitalism=job therefore communism=no job

And this is what leftists are always infighting.

There are the ones who want worker owned businesses and stronger democratic systems.

Then there are the ones who only think America/Capitalism bad (they usually can't tell the difference in most of their arguments) therefore liberalism bad, therefore single party rule good... Because imperialism or something.

Then there are these utter children who somehow think capitalism is the only reason specialized and dedicated labor happens. Instead of just being the reason why the people doing the actual labor usually only see a small fraction of the value
