Nobody (I don't think) is advocating for absolute socialism and the abolishment of capitalism. And I hope nobody is advocating for the opposite: absolute capitalism. Both leave lots of people in misery. Pointing to the failed examples of socialism and saying it can never work is not a serious argument.
Socialism has worked as intended in many places. Look at the nordic countries (as others have mentioned). Features of socialism are good and we should implemented the best parts.
- skinnymuch 3y agoAre you saying socialists don’t advocate for socialism? Obviously they do. Why would socialists not want the means of production to be in the hands of the masses? Also what do you think anti-capitalists advocate for? Not capitalism :). The Nordic countries aren’t socialist. They’re capitalism with some welfare.
- jtode 3y agoI advocate for the abolishment of capitalism, which happens every time someone sits on their ass and collects dividends. I'm willing to explore the way we would do that on a practical level, but bottom line for me, if someone is sitting in a room somewhere doing nothing that has fuckall to do with my project, fuck them if they get any of the take. I don't care whose daddy their daddy got fucked with a broomstick at the mason lodge by.
