    Supposedly socialist is exactly right, but we’re not here to split hairs about the exact name of the ideal governing/economic style.

    In a very dumbed down way socialism/communism is meant to value the goals of the many over the few and capitalism is touted as the bastion for individual freedom. But there is no end to individuals getting royally fucked, often in legal and yet unfair ways in capitalistic countries all for the sake of a few percentage points on a quarterly report.

    Most people who are capitalism detractors don’t want follow in china or Russia’s footsteps. We just want a system that values people more than money.

      It’s just that there’s doubts if we’ll ever get closer to that socialist utopia than what we’ve seen so far. I hope we do but so far it hasn’t gone well

        I hope the one benefit we get out of this trump fiasco is people starting to look around and realise things could be much better. Unfortunately dropping literacy levels are making people easier to trick. Memes and short form videos are one of the best ways to communicate to them. And you better believe that groups with bad intentions are paying people up post things that push their ideas.
