What do you think we should replace it with? Some years back, when my country replaced a corrupt, entrenched coalition govt of 60+ years, the winning party sort of looked around and said: ‘uh… huh, OK, we won. We werent expecting to win. Now what? We have no plan. Lolz?’
In that light, what do you think should replace the big C, and how do we ensure human nature doesnt juat exploit it for a few individuals benefit?
I’ve asked this multiple times and no one ever has an answer.
In the end nothing works because humans are terrible, and the terrible ones always gain power. Capitalism at least works for some people. Communism is easily harnessed by a small power group to starve everyone and have them live terrible lives.
I’d actually be all for just keeping this current system, put in Norway style socialism for taking care of sick poor and old, tax billionaires 99%, and make money in politics illegal. Oh and outlaw controlled centralized social media while we’re at it.
I am not for a system that gives everyone everything. The lazy shit heads are gonna sit on their butts smoking weed all day and playing cod when they could be providing work for society. I know many people like this. There still needs to be people who do the real work or you’re not going to have power or heat, good luck surviving that! But we could also change to a 30 hr work week easily for many jobs.
Internet based direct democracy. Only a minority is evil, get rid of representatives to block their door to abusing power over others once and for all.
Well they’re not going to do that. At this point you would need a revolution to get it done, so why not just go all the way and actually overthrow them rather than just asking concessions?
There was an interesting tidbit in the Epstein files released recently. It was from a third person to Epstein, referencing a conversation Epstein had with Bill Gates about “how to get rid of poor people as a whole.” Given that the only other interpretation of that is “how to ensure all the poor people have a good standard of living and are therefore no longer poor”, and that’s the least likely thing that Epstein would be talking to Bill Gates about, it’s pretty obvious what it means. They certainly aren’t doing much about global warming, and it’s poised to kill an awful lot of people, but I strongly suspect there’s more to it than that.
You say that communism is “easily harnessed by a small power group to starve everyone and have them live terrible lives.” The USSR had its last famine in 1947, and China had its last famine in 1961. They also both had massive increases to the standard of living. Compare that to the capitalist world order, which I will remind you is run by Nazi pedophiles - 10 million people die of hunger every year, and they’ve been supporting Israel’s genocidal bombing and starvation campaign against Gaza. I don’t see how some theoretical communist tyranny could be any worse than this.
