All in all English is a social construct and only a reactionary guy like you defends the idea of a good and correct English.

Perhaps you are simply not intelligent enough to understand what I say.

And of course I am very proud of my German English. I regard my English as an empowerment and emancipation from the established traditional English of these old white heterosexual men which promoted slavery and women's discrimination.

We must critically reflect the inhumane origins of traditional English and support more diversity.

Fairtrade bananas are produced much more ecologically than normal bananas.

And the farmers have certain guarantees concerning their wage.

Is this really so difficult to understand?

Or are you just a cynic who doesn't care about social and ecological progresses. Many Marxists belong to this group of cynics by the way.

I understand the jist of your point and I responded to it. You think capitalism + liberal democracy and regulation is the end point of history. I think that's an assumption with no basis. Unless you have a particular reason why it can never be replaced, I think we've reached a dead end there.

What is "capitalism"?

Tell me what it is.

You know that I'm German. We are born philosophers, intellectuals and deep thinkers. So we don't simply accept notions but we think about them. :)

Or to say it in other words: A humanized/regulated "capitalism" isn't a capitalism anymore.

Is it so difficult to understand that Marx was wrong when he claimed that market economy itself is a bad thing? That was the main error of Marx.

You can see how market economies can change and be humanized when you have a look at the last 150 years. This evolution will go on.

But only when you buy fairtrade bananas!
