Any comments about how we can "fix" capitalism will be promptly removed and the user given a timeout for rule 2. Capitalism is an inherently oppressive system.
Is this a SocDem-free zone? :o
Many SocDems believe capitalism simply needs to be reformed or properly controlled. This would not be allowed since regulating capitalism would still not remove the inequities inherent to it. For example, no matter how much we regulate capitalism in the US, it's still bound to cause global suffering, not to mention the gradual, inevitable destruction of all human life.
I usually say that capitalism is a horrible monster. You can try to put a leash on it, and maybe it'll pull your cart forward for a while. But it's going to shit everywhere, and break free of the leash (or be set free by some idiot), and then kill and eat as much as it can as that is the indelible nature of horrible monsters.
It would be better to not have a horrible monster at all.
Socdem doesn’t prevent corporate capture of the state because it’s just milquetoast reforms that don’t change the power structure. At best it just delays the inevitable while making life slightly more comfortable for those under it’s oppression.
