    It’s because Capitalism is the nonexistent boogeyman used by eastern dictatorships to describe nations they didn’t like. If you get into what different people think capitalism is then you end up with a no true scottsman problem, if the definition is to broad then it also describes the “communisms” but if it’s too narrow then there are much better terms to use for each hyper specific case such as Liberalism, Libertarianism, Market System, Oligopoly, Plutocracy, or Laissez Faire Capitalism.

    Hmm. This is a good start. I feel like it needs to better express the feeling of being a squishy human, being ground up in the relentless and uncompromising gears of the machine. Maybe throw some gears lubricated with blood on that badboy…

      Adding a second “dollar sign” with a hand getting crushed works I think.

          Very nice, I think I might make a sticker of this. If you don’t mind.

            Go for it! Not sure the pictogram is licensed, the rest is just a yellow background … I have no personal stakes here.

            There’s a version with blood further up.

      capitalism crush with blood

      License? Not sure the pictogram is licensed, the rest is just a yellow background … I have no personal stakes here.

      PS: meanwhile someone found the SVG, MIT license.

    Perfect. Did the creator CC it? Is there an SVG?

    Love the hue of yellow. Looks like old man’s piss.

    edit: at least I found the original on xcancel

      That image still doesn’t seem to be a vector.

      I love this, so I took a moment and recreated it as a vector image. Here it is if anyone wants it for printing or whatever. I squared the edges so it’s more versatile, too. (Sorry for the google links, I know it’s ironic and not ideal. The preview looks weird, but the file will download fine.)

      I think it should be purple. Historically, that was the color of the royalty and the wealthy

        Yellow/Gold is historically the colour representing liberalism (as in capitalism), which has a solid history of ending royal monarchies.

            If your bukkake is that color, you should seek medical assistance.

      The combination of yellow white and black is the colour scheme of the Russian Empire

      It’s the colour historically associated with liberalism (as in capitalism).

    Honestly I think the flag of USA kinda represents capitalism itself. Or the dollar sign
