      Capitalism only works in theory in practice it’s all homeless encampments, people going hungry, wealth inequality, gender inequality, race inequality, global inequality, climate disaster, war.

      Capitalism has never worked

        A balance between capitalism and socialism is what most countries are already using and has worked for a long time.

        Communism is the one that only works in theory and anywhere it has been tried has quickly led to dictatorships or else it has fallen apart.

        Edit: what most countries are using (not every country)

          Social programs and social welfare aren’t really balancing socialism with capitalism, the means of production is fully owned by capitalists and there is no democratization of it. Sure we have some coops but the vast majority of workplaces are dictatorships

            It’s more of a balance between how much is run by companies vs the regulations that the government imposes on those companies.

            Pure capitalism doesn’t really exist anywhere.

            And what kind of companies are you working for where you feel that your workplace is a dictatorship? If I ever felt that way I would leave and work somewhere else.

              Some Lords probably treat their subjects better than others true, at least we moved past serfdom.
