Back in September, following a Democrat primary debate Ruffalo made it crystal clear he supports Bernie Sanders’ democratic socialism.
He describes it as a “political system that works for all of us not just one percent. Healthcare for workers, education for workers, sick leave for workers, and a fair tax system.”
Democratic Socialism per @BernieSanders is basically the political system that works for all of us not just one percent. Healthcare for workers, education for workers, sick leave for workers, and a fair tax system. #DemDebate

Ruffalo, who has a net worth of $30 million according to Wealthy Gorilla, is no stranger to attacking capitalism and calling for revolution.
Back in 2016 leading up to the election, he wrote on Twitter, “Democracy is not meant to be in service of capitalism, capitalism is meant to be in service of our democracy. #OurRevolution.”
Democracy is not meant to be in service of capitalism, capitalism is meant to be in service of our democracy. #OurRevolution

In 2014, he promoted an article by Thomas Piketty titled, “Capitalism in Its Current Form Undermines Democracy.”

In 2011 and 2012, Ruffalo was clearer on what he meant. In 2011, he clarified that he was not against capitalism, but “it’s corpratocracy plutocracy that I have a problem with.”
@sarahbellumd I actually believe in Capitalism, silly. It’s corpratocracy plutocracy that I have a problem with. You sling mud that is all.

He would add, “It is not about anti Capitalism it is about Corporate and Political corruption.”
@Da11asdaddy I think you have it all wrong. It is not about anti Capitalism it is about Corporate and Political corruption. Research it more
