There are ways to organize a system of labor that have not been explored or are in the infancy of being considered in the world. Many countries are engaging with more and more socialist ideals every day and they are doing so under current forms of democracy. The world is not binary, everything is a sliding scale with tradeoffs
I’m not sure what in-between there is for “a lot of communist and socialist countries are just as if not more authoritarian than their capitalist counterparts”
The point being made is that the criticism being made doesn’t apply to capitalism in any way that it wouldn’t also apply to other economic systems.
Pretty much all communist regimes have been dictatorships. What’s your point?
Money can be a dictator too.
Pretty much all command economies**

So is this the whataboutism I’ve been hearing so much about? Meme didn’t even mention communism.
Because capitalism and communism are the only 2 options…
It doesn’t matter what option you choose as long as humans are involved in any form.
Any government that claims to be something in between really just wants you to think it’s something in between.
Hey guys, I found it! I found the dumbest take!
You think existing government can’t manipulate you into thinking we are in a democracy?
There is no such thing as a true democracy. Humans are far too easily corruptible for that.
Which is what the extremist propagenda taught you to think. Good for them.
Anarchism!
You’ll never get anything accomplished then once everyone needs to agree.
That’s unanimous consensus, not democracy.
Talking about anarchy.
Yes. I mean it as in the Wikipedia definition, not chaos.

I didn’t know reality was western propaganda, those pesky Americans!
The truth is somewhere inbetween… not “reality” like you claim it is.

Nope, the truth is in the left and not the center 😎
The fact is that you were so brainwashed by the Red Scare that you don’t realize that the reality you were told is all lies.
🆗 😎
