In western democracies we have many functions roads, health, education, security in which a government provided service exists side by side with market alternatives. I think the public confidence in those functions in different countries is a good metric of that countries ability to operate a service for the public good. There’s no need for revolution, just keep shaping a culture that understands how to eliminate corruption and govern services for the universal good, and we can iterate our way to automated luxury communism:
Lets fix schools & hospitals first, then we can talk more

- kcplate 2y agoYou might have pockets that are at this moment appear to be less corrupt, less violent, and more fair…but human nature is human nature. Those things don’t go away—they hide temporarily until circumstances change just enough for them to emerge again.
