I was just throwing some counterpoint at you.

No, I don't imply this. Actually I think ALL of us SHOULD be criticized for implicitly supporting capitalism. Especially those of us who know better.

> And that every person
>criticizing should be ignored since
>they're "guilty" themselves ?

No, i was just pointing out that everyone contributes to capitalism. And unless you undermine capitalism as well, through your activism, organizing, preaching, etc., enough to balance out your support of it, it is rather hypocritical. Ill be the first to admit that I am a hypocrite in this light.

most of them did support Nazism through their actions, just like most of us support capitalism

partially, yes

That every

partially yes

Some degree of support of capitalism is required for survivial in modern society. Think of all the money dp has pumped into the pockets of Loud and Sony. However, one could argue that dp compensates for this through their message and their activism, which does undermine capitalism to an extent. I guess, this would make them "less capitalist" than Vanilla Ice, who not only supported the system more (more album sales) but didnt speak out against it blanace out his support.

true

I guess it would be hard to disagree with that. However, in light of his latest album, it could be that Jay-Z is trying to change for the better. Hopefully.

Yes, to differing degrees.
