wtf is up with the capitalist shilling comments in my leftist community?
Thank you for bringing them to my attention, capitalist shilling is not (and will never) be allowed in this community. All offending comments have been removed and offenders given ten day temp bans

Communism could incentivize its governing political elite by being democratic, just like Marx wanted… Shame that the state capitalist dictatorships that have declared themselves communist are only really interested in desperately clinging to power
And here in europe the golden hoards of the wealthy are still growing, just a thousand or so times slower
Agreed, true workers liberation can only come from the workers themselves taking the future into their own hands.
Capitalism is literally enshrined greed and self interest. That’s never “fine”. It can have restrictions put on it to constrain just how much damage self interest can do, but there’s no way to make it not damaging

You don’t change people. You design systems that don’t allow for a snowball effect where inequity creates more inequity.
Of course, that’s easier said than done and above my pay grade, but what I do know is that it doesn’t look like saying “celebrating excessive greed is good”
Once again (as stated in the rules) this is a leftist space, you are free to disagree but disingenuous arguments are not allowed.
In case you are not aware this is a leftist space, kindly take your liberal propoganda elsewhere

Those things will destroy none of those, though.
-
The oil industry will still be needed for lubrication and synthetics.
-
The insurance industry, well, for insuring everything beyond.
-
The weapon industry, because, as russia taught us again, if a nation gives up too many of their weapons (like Ukraine gave up their nukes for security assurances by russia, for example), neighbouring nations may attack them.
- Both can be done more sustainably
- Insurance is only needed under a capitalist society where healthcare is not considered a basic human right
- There is a difference between producing weapons for defense and producing weapons for profit
