Sir, this is a Wendy's.
Only socialism and communism try to ensure everyone survives. This isn’t really an attack on capitalism. This is also the reason we have nationalism, racism etc, no?
In any case, technology and efficiency mean we could support more people being alive and with better lives if we really did want to. Plus there’s the potential of mining and colonisation of space. We’ve barely scratched the surface. Vertical farms might be the future.
But that wouldn’t generate as much profit, see! You gotta have Scarcity, otherwise ya cannot jack up the prices so high!

The pitfalls of our current systems preclude us getting to the point of utilizing space to any meaningful extent. Better to forgo the hypothetical Star Trek romanticized fiction and just fix what we have here; then maybe we can think about that stuff.
At this stage, the mere mention of any such possibility is a distraction from the gravity of the situations we face. It's a mere tool to keep the apple cart going, while people are literally dying from our own collective hubris.

As old Star Wars EU fan, I agree.
Jokes aside, yes, anything done in space is for now much less efficient.

WDYM "might", it's already happening, just slowly. Not every modern city has lots of skyscrapers.

Very limited. Though I like the idea of toroid stations with mirrors in L points, like Stanford torus, which is IIRC not considered cool now due to being expensive and complex to build.
Maybe not toroid, but asymmetric rotating pendulum-like thing, with another end being ballast. For gravity.
Anyway, you don't realize how much less efficiency existing on Earth requires. It's really easier to fix our shit here before going into space. Space is so cool that it's worth the effort, but real colonization doesn't make sense economically yet.

Except for the "enemies of the people" and the "bourgeoisie", right?..
That might be the stated intent, but it seems plain that once the leaders are in positions of power and authority, they abuse their power. This is why, as fallible as is democracy, it is superior.
I would also contend that the outcomes for those living under communism are vastly inferior to those living under capitalism. I’ve always been bemused by arguments that all the repeated attempts “don’t count,” as though seventh time is the charm and suddenly the major issues will be worked out.

The notion that there are no corruption issues in capitalist countries is also bizarre. Are you perpetually anglo-brained in that you only think of the western imperial core when you think about "capitalism"? You are ignoring most of the world.
20million people die to easily preventable things under capitalism around the world every single year. Hunger, clean water, curable disease. Things that we can solve immediately with the resources we already have simply by having leadership that decides to do so. The fact you think this is reasonable is frankly disgusting.
Ah, I have a friend like that. We don't invite him to parties anymore.
Lmao, alright alright... ya got me with this one. Just saying thanks for the little laugh
Thanks unbearable abyss
The shitpost communities have more (and better) memes than the meme communities...
