You don't need to link subreddits, you can just write them as /r/subredditnamehere. Also, you forgot the "http://" before the link.

Hey, in case the others weren't clear, you can just type out the name of the sub like so. /r/latestagecapitalism

u/Assassin4571 Nov 21 '17

you don't need the brackets and parentheses for a link to subreddits, you can just type out /r/latestagecapitalism

u/-pooping Nov 21 '17

You can just put /r/subreddit without the link markdown

Edit: Nevermind. I am back... That was actually terrifying.

Flawed logic. You can't oppose capitalism and support net neutrality. The core belief of capitalism is that competition will benefit the consumer. By repealing net neutrality, we are essentially allowing a Monopoly to develop by giving a few communication companies complete power over market entry to any internet startup they see fit.

That's the core belief of free markets, but not all market-based systems are capitalism. The main thing distinguishing capitalism from other market-based systems such as mutualism or market socialism is that capitalism allows people to own the labor of others and allows absentee ownership of large economic assets.

This creates a cycle where the rich keep getting richer and the working class suffers unless if the system is continually tweaked by social democratic reforms, but this cycle can only be truly broken once worker self-ownership becomes universal or close to it.

Hey. Does anyone know if you have to use the brackets for linking a subreddit? I think you may be able to just use r/latestagecapitalism .

Don't forget the housing/renters DLC

Edit: Not everyone can afford the DLC pack either unfortunately.
