Do you think society treats homeless people with dignity?
That has nothing to do with their own self proclaimed status or values.
Again, you simply judge "dignity" by the opinion of others. Its specific to an individual.

In other words, not something a "capitalist society" could ever take from someone. I guess we agree.
People do possess dignity but our society doesn’t treat everyone as though they do.
My prof claimed dignity is distributed by society based on who has capital.

Again you judge dignity by the perception of others. Thats not what dignity is.

Tell us your better system.
Capitalism gives people a means to succeed. If you don't like where you are go somewhere else. You are completely free to do that.

Dignity ONLY exists in a free enterprise fueled economy- especially on that subscribes to Judeo-Christian values.

Seems to be the professor may have a more materialist view of dignity than the overall "capitalist society."

I wonder how cubbies' professor would react to her responding that dignity was based in God-given intrinsic humanity and not a system of humans.
He said that gods don’t create humans; humans create gods.

You and your professor are flat out wrong.

That is irrelevant to what he claimed.
Whether Gods were created by man or not, religion created the concept of dignity.

And it didn't occur to you to ask your prof for his definition of dignity? It's an amorphous term that it is utterly meaningless without an agreed upon definition. Pure sophistry.

What else do you call government-imposed regulation and redistribution programs?
Lowering personal taxes is not leftist.
Replacement of prima facie personal tax revenue decrease with tariffs is not leftist.
Decreasing regulation is not leftist.
Enabling/encouraging small business is not leftist.
Decreasing crime is not leftist.
Cutting government inefficiency is not leftist.
etc., etc., etc.

Tariffs and MAHA are definitely progressive.

You sound like a big MAGA type now. This is their exact rhetoric around MAGA-centric regulations like tariffs.
You were doing fine until this. Tariffs are a reaction of self preservation in capitalism when others don’t allow free choices
