Yes they do, but if you aren't aware of the ideology you're using as a basis of your thinking about the world, I'd recommend researching the subject. Until that, a constructive dialogue would not be possible.

Are you aware?

You really have something new to tell to person, who lived in the Soviet Union, where capitalism considered mortal sin?

You are not the only one here, I was born in the USSR too, so I also went through a long phase of having (neo)liberal attitudes and worshipping the capitalist mode of production.

And yes, I am aware nowadays: a few years ago I started re-examining my preexisting views, realized that I acquired most of them without a conscious choice, and then got past the "it's either capitalism or a totalitarian central-planned state" false dichotomy promoted by modern propaganda. Can only recommend doing the same because it's quite liberating after being traumatized by the Soviet experience.

The Anarchist FAQ can be a good starting point because it has lots of sections deconstructing the capitalist mythology: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/the-anarchist-faq-ed...

Neoliberal attitudes are definitely leftish, so anticapitalist. What you really want to say me about mythology? :)))))
