…and local businesses constantly close in favour of big companies, as countries develop the amount of self-employed people goes down:
Local businesses simply cannot outcompete ever-growing big businesses, and because big businesses are in a need to ever-grow to satisfy the raising stock value imperative, they inevitably intrude the market share of local businesses. This is well-known since the mid-1800s.

The country with a communist party and 60% of state ownership of the stock market is less socialist than the Nordic countries currently electing fascists into government like Finland and increasing poverty rates by 2% of their total population in 3 years?

Many people don’t have that luxury.

Yes, furthering capitalism doesn’t solve the problems of capitalism, it only makes them run deeper. We should socialize companies through a mixture of state ownership and unions.

Socialist countries? You mean like China? Or are you talking about European-style socialdemocracy? Plenty of suburban neighborhoods with detached housing in Germany or Norway too

This has less to do with the admittedly awful automobile-based society and more to do with the allocation of housing. High prices and low availability lead to people generally living randomly far away from their workplace. Soviet Union citizens for example accessed housing mostly through their labor union, and were allocated housing near their workplace so they could easily go walking or with public transit. It made cities very efficient with regards to commute, together with the division of urban areas into so-called “mikroraion” units, which established the concept of 15-minute neighborhoods already 70 years ago.

The post still applies to you in its entirety except for the 1h unpaid overtime. And yes, socialist ideas are good, that’s the entire point of the post.

The 996 in China is far from standard, it’s prominent mainly in the informatics/electronics sector, and it doesn’t exist in the public sector as it’s technically illegal afaik, just not prosecuted. Also, there’s increasing pushback in China against it, and it’s diminishing in scope.
