Modern capitalist economies are already massively centralized and planned -- see "The People's Republic of Walmart."
Socialist countries fail because they are embargoed, which stifles their economy, which then stifles their legitimacy.
Exactly my point. It doesn’t work. Humans are the problem that will not allow a society to flourish. By nature the worst will always rise to the top.
People are not inherently evil. Your pessimism was indoctrinated into you, and you can be undoctrinated from that wrong view.
Are you kidding me? Look around you. How much evil do you need to see? As long as people like this exist nothing good can coexist with them. This is all dreamworld bullshit
You're right better isn't and has never been possible everyone is evil and greedy and we should all just kill ourselves.
Edgy teenager nonsense. Grow up.
We have world historical leaps in life and happiness to back up what we're saying, while you just have mopey, navel gazing teenage bullshit about this fallen world and how people are shit, man.
Our beliefs are backed by experience, yours by learned helplessness.
That's what the reeducation programs and firing squads are for.
By that logic, we should still live under monarchies today.
This is vibes-based nihilism, not materialist analysis.
Desperately trying to justify your refusal to contribute to anything with boring fatalism. By that logic, we're all gonna die so why bother commenting?
