    A liberal believes capitalism is broken and needs to be fixed.

    A socialist believes capitalism is working as intended and needs to be destroyed.

          Nah anarchists also fall within the “capitalism is working as intended and must be destroyed” camp. They just have different ways of doing it.

        Someone who doesn’t have conspiracy-brain. The people that say capitalism is working as intended seem to live by the inverse razor of “never attribute to collective stupidity of the implementors what can be attributed to deliberate malice by illuminati-like mechanisms.”
