Every system inevitably succumbs to the corruption of greed, and this corruption is invariably cited by critics as evidence of its inherent dysfunction.

The only triumphant strategy to alleviate the burdens of the common man is return to monke.

The problem is government not capitalism

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago

The government represents the interests of the class that holds power in society, and under capitalism that's the capital owning class.

Yeah. And the same for communism

Except even “communists” always give up on the whole idea, and simply keep the name and the authoritarian aspects. China in its current state is what happens when corporations own the government. It’s post late stage capitalism. They just skipped a bunch of steps. And so-called socialists are applauding, because they have no actual principles beyond being contrarian, edgy, anti westerners.

The lot of them are edgy teens, boring trolls, or corpo state employees.

Dear haters: you claim to hate socialism yet you post on SOCIAL media. Curious!

lol, my friend seems to be stuck in both the denial and bargaining stages of grief at the same time. 😊
