You're a victim of that capitalist realism the comment you replied to spoke of. I can only recommend you read about the subject.

  Why is socialism a band-aid? You might as well call modern law a band-aid applied to ancient tribal disputes.

    Sorry, I removed that part of my comment before seeing your reply. I realized it wasn't well thought out. Maybe you can still delete this comment?

      One can't delete a comment after someone else replies to it.
      • amelius 2y ago
        But what if that other person deletes their comment?

  I'm only a victim of an un-scalable federal government whose debt burden and resulting tax load would be an obvious resource leak in an information system. People do not scale in a linear fashion. Ignore reality at your peril. Oh, and: "Merry Christmas".

    If you are seeking a country that doesn't overspend, you should move to Somalia. If you want an actual constructive conversation in which we don't portray the opposite side inaccurately, please document yourself on capitalist realism: you don't even have to agree! Merry Christmas to you too.

      Are you saying that a government cannot balance a budget?
      • thrance 2y ago
        I am saying austerity is a terrible policy. Look at the UK. But that's beside the point, why are we even talking about this? What does that have to do with capitalist realism?
