not even worth engaging with that argument imo because standing amidst the cooking ruins of our dying planet while tens of millions of children starve to death doesn't discredit capitalism, somehow
Definitely; in a vacuum, the "debate" may have had merit insofar as one believes the marketplace of ideas exists and thus everything should be debated, but in current year with apocalypse looming on the horizon, it's not worth having even in principle. Were this still the 19th/early 20th century, the debate may have merit. By now there is plenty of empirical evidence that liberalism and its derivatives have long outlived their purpose
