The catch is, it’s usually presented as “well that was in the past, capitalism is perfectly fine now”. It’s like when libs who are actually familiar with Marx agree with what he says about capitalism, but then say the analysis is no longer relevant since we made capitalism a lot better since then. Or highlighting racism in the past but implying that racism stopped being a problem after 1965, when racism was defeated legislatively (hooray for liberalism!)
