      Any system we come up with will be corrupted by those who lust for power at the expense of others. Communism has the issue where the government controls everything, meaning there are far fewer barriers for a bad actor to corrupt the system.

      Capitalism being more decentralized means it takes a bit longer for regulatory capture to get to the same point. But it’ll happen eventually because those people will never stop worming their way to the top.

            No, he’s right.

            You use socialism to get to a stateless society (communism)

            The view is that a government is a class above the working man so it cannot exist but it is necessary to coordinate setting up a society that no longer needs it.
