        "What if we had a system where people could get the assistance they need. We could call it… Communityism.

          But see, it’s not fair if people just get what they need! You need to make sure people are paying for it!

          We can make it part of the system that each person gets help according to their needs, but each person also gives help according to their abilities. Yes yes. This is now definitely capitalism because it’s transactions.

            Capitalism has nothing to do with transactions. Capitalism would be if the truck was owed by Benny, who would not show up, not fill it up with gas, not repair it, but would still receive half of pizza and 2/3 of beer.

    No matter where you come from , once you can say “I know a guy” you’re an American.

    The American lower-working class economy is predominantly favor and goodwill-based, yes. Pain in the ass sometimes but also more fun imo. Community is important to keep alive.

        Men doing something negative is readily called toxic masculinity. Men doing something positive however can’t be non-toxic masculinity because women do something similar but different…

        Is it really that hard for you to admit that masculinity can be associated with positive things?
