      If you have a better system for the future, let’s hear it.

      And no, a reboot of communism doesn’t count. Fresh ideas please.

        “No NO NOOOOO! IT’S NOT CRONY CAPITALISM! WAHHHH!”

            Just one example, Democratic Confederalism. There are endless possibilities, even within the scope of ‘communism’. To think free-market capitalism is the best that can be come up with is a severe underestimation of the powers of human ingenuity.

              Finally someone willing to think outside the box! Thanks for posting, this looks like a good read.

                That is one of my biggest gripes with political discourse of all varieties, lack of creativity. I admit don’t know enough about the ‘democratic confederalism’ to fully support it, but from what I’ve heard it is compelling, it just comes to mind when I think of the question of capitalism vs communism.

            Communism hasn’t ever even been implemented, except in small communes.

        I’d be interested to hear what you think communism is but I digress.

        My better system starts with providing universal healthcare, education and housing.

        That’s it. I want people to not go bankrupt for going to the hospital, not take out huge loans for university education and not have to pay exorbitant housing costs.

        If you think this is fairy land dreams you have no comprehension of how much money is currently being redirected from these very things into the hands of capitalists so they can have a bigger yacht.
