@amerika i just stated what the real problem is, not a solution. i strongly believe that we would be better off without the current accumulation of power and wealth, though.

@bonifartius

The current accumulation of power and wealth is a creation of government, not capitalism.

Without the heavy regulatory burden and tax burden, more competition would have obliterated many of these monopolies.

@amerika i mean even full throttle capitalists usually aren't happy with such surveillance shit?

@bonifartius

If they're smart, they dislike inflexible markets.

Many are not smart.

@amerika isn't stupidity more of a problem than capitalism or socialism? both might be working well, if there werent so many stupid people acting short sighted 😉

@bonifartius

Stupidity ruins anything, but I do not think anyone could make socialism work right. Over time, it wears societies down to nubs.

@amerika socialism is just the time while there is no "perfect" communism, so.. it's expected to be shitty ;)

i guess capitalism has the clear advantage of being able to quickly adapt, something not possible with 5-year-plans (which are a rather dumb idea). i would have liked to see how things would have played out in chile with the allende government, they had some pretty interesting ideas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Cybersyn

i'm not really convinced by any "system" anymore, everything seems to be shit, and we see only the tip of the shitberg.
