You're kidding yourself if you think the op was suggesting we abandon capitalism. This absolutist mindset has to stop. We can acknowledge our current system is flawed without suggested we abandon it entirely for something else. The reality is that our regulation of our system could be better.
Your binary thinking is lazy and closes you off to the possibility that we could improve our system.
- goalieca 4y agoI gave two counter-examples of different economic systems. It’s clear capitalism isn’t the problem if you think about why those other systems failed.
- cptskippy 4y agoIf you think about what you just said, it makes no sense: > I've given two examples of different economic systems that I've deemed failures that prove our specific implementation of an economic system isn't problematic. That's like saying: > In my opinion bikes and trains are failures that prove my gas guzzling SUV is the best vehicle in the world and there's absolutely no room for improvement in any way.

- colpabar 4y agoWhat an absurd comment. The only purpose? That seems like quite a jump. I read it as a dumb comment pointing out a funny name for the current state of things. Also, is the world really so simple that anything that isn't capitalism is a dictatorship?
