    Empower democracy > the democratic government hold people accountable and redistributes wealth to provide a minimum standard of living for all > problem solved permanently.

      Oh of course, we just gotta empower democracy and everything will be fine. Why didn’t anyone else ever think of that? How did you access such remarkable knowledge?

        Because a large enough number of people have been convinced not to try it, fucking it up for the rest of us.

      Empower democracy > the Democratic government hold people accountable and redistribute wealth > get fucking couped by the USA like Salvador Allende, Gaddafi or Mosaddeq, or literally bombed until millions of your citizens die like in Vietnam.

        At least you had the balls to drop the flimsy venier that this was about means of production and admit it’s a fucking East V. West Tankie Propoganda.

            “Propoganda” is when state funded or organized actors promote unity at home and discord abroad. You don’t care about those regimes, you don’t even care about capitalism, you just want to get people riled up enough to do something stupid. To people like you “Capitalism” just means “Western Nation, NATO, etc”.

              You don’t care about those regimes

              I have loved ones currently suffering under Russian capitalism. I fucking wish there was still socialism in Eastern Europe so that my loved ones would have guaranteed healthcare, jobs, housing and fucking peace, but it’s not the case thanks to capitalism. Don’t tell me I support foreign capitalism because I despise it.
