Warren labeled a centrist is pretty rich considering she keeps yelling at clouds about corporate greed (her explanation for inflation)

[JaimeThompson]

Well it is a bit strange that corporate profits are at record highs and CxO's keep talking about how they are driving increased prices on their investor calls during a time of record inflation.

[Wiseacre]

Leftists are more about dismantling capitalism and legalizing all drugs.

Disliking corporate greed is not a left/right or political position, but a moral one. Wouldn't you say the same about other types of greed?

[lucian1900]

That’s what centrists tend to say, yes. Compromise between capitalists and workers.

Someone on the left might speak about trade unions, collectivising industry, arming workers, etc.

Is that center right?

[lucian1900]

Yes, quite literally Bonapartist compromise between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat.

[nailer]

Compromise between business owners and workers. Workers are often capitalists. But yes that’s correct.

[lucian1900]

Capitalists, otherwise known as the bourgeoisie, make money from owning capital.

Workers, otherwise known as the proletariat, make money from their own labour.

Workers are by definition not capitalists.

[nailer]

No, people that support the concept of being compensated in response to the value they bring, ie capitalism, are capitalists. Including most proletariats.
