  It’s already been tried with social democracies. They cannot last because capitalism is inherently rapacious by nature and tends to maximize the extraction of surplus value in the long run.

    Seems to be working great in the Nordics. Or does that not fit the definition?

      You mean the same countries that have been having issues with managing the growing number of immigrants and the strain they put on the welfare system?

        Oh yeah migration is going to become world war insanity. You think unfettered capitalism deals with migrants better? They’re already ceding land to the federal government in Texas for concentration camps deportation centers.

  Capitalism tries to nuke itself when it’s unregulated. It’s only positive is that it allows for rapid production. Which is also it’s greatest drawback.

    No, you don’t. You love creating strange monsters and then quelling them to make your arts seem something, as Jonson brilliantly put it. I prefer thinking that things can be changed by the people who need change the most instead of hoping for utter sociopaths to discover an empathy they’ve never shown proof of.

      Why do you think this means I don’t have a lemmy instance for them? Also you sound like a bot
