Ok, so this is a genuine question please don't get mad or call me ignorant (as redditors love to do) this is just something I've always wondered about. How do liberal/socialists think about investing?
I know from being on here and especially Reddit there are quite a few liberal investors, but I've always thought that investing and wealth building is a more capitalist/conservative thing, owing to the fact the companies you are investing in are most times massive corporate giants out for their shareholders profits. The No. 1 evil in a socialist world. Also the entire idea of wealth building kind of rests on the idea of capitalism itself and trying to get ahead of others and creating more inequality. Yet I see liberals (democrats, socialists) investing. Why?
I am a conservative and I personally think capitalism is a wonderful system for a low income person like me to get ahead one day.
But how do you think about it?
Thanks for your answers!
