"The skills of Capitalists limit thinking." What does that mean? That they narrow down what they think about or they are inferior thinkers?

I expect if you a superduper Capitalist all you think about is how to make more money. That is limiting because it leaves no time to ponder questions that require profound INTELLECT. You don't use it you lose it. You don't exercise your intellectual muscles they atrophy and when you need them they are useless. I dunno. I'm just opining. How often do you opine? Isn't it divinely sublime and fine?

    It is a nonsense blanket statement that carries no weight at all.  Like calling Dems anti-semetic.  

    Just nonsense.

    Capitalism is an economic form.  Not a political form.

    Some economic forms are easier to maintain with certain governments, which is why people get them confused.
    (well ... along with our lousy public school system)

    However, economic systems also mix much easier than political systems.
    EG: It's easier for capitalist system to have parts of socialism, than for a democracy to mix with a dictatorship.

    But does any economic or political system limit thinking?
    No.  (though some political systems will punish you for acting on certain thoughts/beliefs contrary to that system)

    Here's my take on it Walt. I think Fascists are intellectually inferior people. I do. Those who support Fascism are also intellectually inferior. In my opinion. So I just wonder what others think. We know trumpicans believe socialists are intellectually inferior. We have a despot dictator wannabe prez. He is a FASCIST. Ergo his supporters must concomitantly be Fascists too or they would abhor him as I do. They ADORE him. So I don't think much about their intellectual perspicacity. I look down upon them for that. I expect everyone looks done on those who don't subscribe to the same ideas views ideologies beliefs. Right? It's the American thing to do. Thank you for your informative reply! I appreciate it as usual! :):):) This post was edited by RosieG at March 14, 2019 3:33 AM MDT

    I'll have to go with DEUTSCHE BANK DOUCHEBAG's answer for all practical purposes.

    But for anyone interested, here's two links that are good reading in preparation for a discussion on the question:

    lol

    I am a concrete thinker; you are an abstract thinker.  The difference is immaterial , just as eye color has no bearing on the quality of one's vision.  Words flow easily from you; producing written output is laborious for me.
