krishna boundit's fundamentally impossible for most people to understand what socialism or communism actually refers to in a practical sense because of decades upon decades of colloquial discourse and information removed from the original concept or idea. it's the same with other political terms like "populism" or "fascism" meaning something different colloquially in conversation than in actual sole political philosophy/theory. a lot of people have come to associate terms like "socialism" or "communism" with an ideas melded from a variety of sources or ideas from proclaimed practical applications and commentary rather than the original concept itself. i genuinely think this is why we have to stop use terms that refer to collective umbrellas of ideas and just talk about the underlying practical applications separate from the ideology because otherwise modern political conversation is genuinely completely useless
this is why i always try to explain to ppl in real life what things might look like under socialism as i understand it
Oct 10, 2020TragedyBerlusconiYeah bro you agree with me
I support capitalism but measures to make things better to live like ubi and universal healthcare.
That's still capitalism
Yeah not saying what I advocate for isn’t capitalism I am just saying the system requires these things to work

capitalism will most likely collapse whether you like it or not lol ... limits to growth are a thing. its about whether you want a transition or mad max

I highly doubt that tbh (while we are living). Especially if we just talking about the binary of capitalism vs socialism
what do you see happening in the future?

its not a question of belief, i linked you rigorous modeling work that has been validated nearly 50 years after its initial publishing and this is just one of many indicators that growth is unsustainable.

People think we can just adopt socialism and 'stop growing'
Humans will always desire bigger, better and more of it
Capitalism doesn't create that, it simply models itself around it and harnesses it

why not just support something that you know, makes things much better instead of just applying band aid measures to a system of global inequality
Because we dont live in a utopia, socialism f***s up everywhere it is tried.
Capitalism is good but flawed so we should mitigate the bad and keep the good
