Aspects of capitalism: private businesses, private homeownership, private agriculture, classism, investments into foreign countries, foreign investment into said country, etc
As long as you’re not a tankie or authoritarian I don’t really have a problem with many of the particulars. Just know lots of MLs are tankies.
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical.
You’re apparently fine with non-communist authoritarianism then, given that capitalism requires the authoritarian enclosure of the Earth’s common and the forcible restriction of human movement into centrally controlled “nation states”.

No it’s not, Tankies are very clearly defined to be “Authoritarians”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie
And it’s demonstrated by
Perpetuating Russian talking points like Ukraines invasion just being a “negotiating tactic” https://lemmy.world/post/27012640 and their open declaration of support for Russia (direct from dessalines) https://lemmy.world/post/27352415 and even defending concentration camps as "concentration camps were just reeducation camps and weren’t that bad https://lemmy.world/post/26985447
I’ve got Tankies supporting Trump because he’s doing what they want: https://lemmy.world/post/28033872 and basically stating with Trump it’s an ends justify the means kinda thing: https://lemmy.world/post/27950020 censoring comments that just say you shouldn’t romanticize Stalin and the USSR: https://lemmy.world/post/27673934
And much much more on [email protected]
Nah, tankie is pretty synonymous with authoritarian communism, which is no bueno in my book.

Capitalism can not be defeated without exercising some level of authority. It’s a class war.
You plan to serve in the new empire’s army? Becoming a stormtrooper?
Do you plan on defeating capitalism by asking nicely?
The revolution won’t be polite, civil, or peaceful. Our enemies won’t just let us win.
Read more history, watch fewer movies about wizards in space.
