The world is not fair and using violence is has never been exclusive to capitalism.

That is not a straw man.

Every as-yet tried communist experiment has failed according to its own victory conditions and not all due to external pressure.

Considering that economics is politics and war is politics by other means; they are not particularly different.

Everything lives or dies in the context of everything else. “It works in theory” is best left to libertarian fantasies.

Yeah, but that doesn’t really mean anything. A precondition for either is capitalism.

Any sustainable system needs to effectively overcome capitalistic forces to be considered viable.

“Oh, but it’s hard…” yeah, duh.

I guess I don’t know which side you’re taking for an appropriate reaction. 😂

Neither have been proven at scale, but I’m skeptical of any system being sustainable. I say narrow the range from both ends and see how it goes over time.

I’m not an anarchist but why would there be no regulation?

It’s about democratic decision-making and the equal distribution of power, not a maximalist free-for-all.

Make him a man without wealth or country. An exile amongst the species.

There’s a lot of people in power that wouldn’t last long under the old CIA.

We gave up manufacturing and can’t maintain leads in technology innovation, all in the context of allowing our physical and social infrastructure deteriorate…
