        Markets incentivize and reward selfish behavior. A different system would incentivize different behaviors.

        I swear, it’s like we’re stuck in the 20th century when it comes to this. Think about it like designing a multiplayer game. Throw a thousand people in a RUST server, they’ll behave one way. Throw that same thousand into Deep Rock Galactic, they behave completely differently.

        There is no true communism present in the world.

        Calling something “communist” doesn’t make it so.

        Hitler called his party “socialist”. It was not.

        We call our country a democracy.

        It’s an oligarchy.

                End stage capitalism.

                This is the result of the market “regulating itself”.

                But I suppose if anti monopoly laws were actually enforced than capitalism wouldn’t be this shitty. Still shitty though.

                However it’s impossible for that to happen.

                When profits drive every choice of politicians and business owners, this result is inevitable.

                    I don’t think government can ever keep it in check. Ultimately money will control politics and laws.

                    I think this is probably an inevitability of any system unless incredibly strict laws and regulations are placed and can’t be removed. Like with a constitution.

        That’s so we can kill as many people as effectively as possible.

        Serious answer all revolutions limited to a single region or country collapse into reactionary autoritarianism because you can’t build a post capitalist country surrounded by capitalist countries without experiencing some imperialism.

          Aren’t you worried that the earth will collapse into reactionary autoritarianism being surrounded by capitalist planets as it is?
