Why do we need jobs to survive? That alone is an insane system. We desperately need to separate work activity and survivability.
Even without this pandemic, we live in a World where there is enough shelter, food and drugs for everyone but we still have homeless people, people starving or at the least malnourished and people dying in a rich country because they have to ration fucking insulin.
This economic system is not working at all. People die every die directly because of this system[0]. This pandemic just brings it to light.

- syshum 7y agoYep, this situation is a socialist wet dream Of course socialism is a failed economic model but hey maybe this time it will work /s
- zouhair 7y agoHow is it a failed system? I'd say people cannot afford insulin is proof enough that Capitalism is a failed system. Just go ask Argentina[0], collapsing months after IMF was praising the "good" work Argentina was doing and how a good Capitalist country it has become[1]. This pandemic just made most people feel what the lives of billions is like all year long under Capitalism. And your dismissive comment is just shameful and disgusting.

- syshum 7y ago>>How is it a failed system? ohh I dont know, the millions upon millions that have died in starvation due to socialism over the many decades that it has been tried but those where not "real socialism" right.... Pointing to one good that some people can not afford (the reason is largely due to government control not capitalism BTW) does not in any way "prove capitalism failed" it is true that sometimes with capitalism you will get breadlines, but with socialism sometimes you get bread
