What’s a scam that’s so normalized that we don’t even realize it’s a scam anymore?

I would argue that feudalism is a lot more time tested than this garbage system that even in theory is so flawed that it regularly results in global economic crises. Feudalism on the other hand has been considerably more stable throughout the centuries and whether or not you are forced to serve a nobleman or a CEO is not a big difference. So, stop getting scammed and get back to the fields, peasant.

I’m also looking forward to a viable/stable alternative. I have serious doubts that I’ll see one in my lifetime, unfortunately.

You should stop getting your evaluations on alternatives to capitalism from the capitalists and their countries

There is a reason I reply to lemmygrad and hexbear people, and follow some of the communities. Sometimes I get interesting responses. Not your response, but sometimes.

There is no need to be passive-aggressive

Good luck overthrowing capitalism and bring that fragile lol

Joe · 2Y

No, but you didn’t need to engage in circle-jerking with your friends either. You are capable of more, and I look forward to reading your future contributions.

If I did something worth reading about, you’d condemn it just like you do all the other socialist projects, so don’t get your hopes up.

Me? I’m pretty open minded, while trying to apply critical thinking. Make a good argument, and I’ll digest it. You seem to be jumping to conclusions, which may hurt your cause (edit: your ability to convince others, to the detriment of your cause)

Could you give me a slightly more specific prompt?

Not with that attitude you won’t

There is no stable alternative. There is always going to be class struggle. Materialist conditions and human rights must always be fought for and defended, else you’re gonna lose them.
