sure its not completely impossible but im highly skeptical of there being the widespread, 'overnight' type of revolution that is necessary for the upheaval of capitalism any time soon
It def won't be overnight
Well I can imagine a world where the system we live within is reformed rather than torn apart
And yes based on my beliefs on human nature I think we need this system to an extent
I think that’s just as legitimate of a philosophy as the one you have in OP

All that tells me is your fine with some level of exploitation

Yeah because the level of exploitation continues to go down every year, the world is an exponentially better place than it was even 50 years ago
Ideally I like a capitalistic world with more socialistic policies like universal basic income, free healthcare and education
I just don’t think we’re technologically or economically ready to “flip the switch” atm and to demonize the system we have seems narrow-minded to me tbh

then its doomed to fail imo
(i agree with you in terms of probability tho)

You’re 100% right and he’s gonna hit you with some ultra woke, zero compromise take that judges your character
People who want upheaval have never lived through a period of upheaval and are living in their heads and swept up with the idea of being radical and revolutionary
Edit: he already did it I didn’t see lmao

Look at my exchange with this dude he’s not smart he’s your average twitter educated user

We reached record high inequality last year lol. And tell the global south that exploitation is going down
Ive arrived at the belief that a world population of 7 billion is inherently beyond repair
You are a troll Will. I don't know why you think I'm ever going to take anything you say in good faith. Over the course of your time on this forum you have pretended to be white, asian, whatever fits you at the moment. You have advocated for the genocide of muslims, and posted a litany of other opinions that could only be considered bottom of the barrel. I don't care to discuss how to get there with you, a non troll, because I don't see the need to down a f***ing rabbit hole of "but what if this happens" or "that would never work" or "thats not how it works in reality" or "no one would do that" etc., etc.,
I'm not a troll. I ask real questions that normal people will ask and you never have any answers.
You still haven't told me what happens to luxuries in your world. I'm still waiting cus I don't want to live in a world without luxury and hundreds of millions of others don't either.
I am white and asian. That is a fact. My grandmother is full pinoy and I can private message you photos if you would like.
I have never advocated for the genocide of muslims. I advocated for the eradication of islam and all other religions along with it.
All of the arguments against the idea are assuming that human nature is a fixed thing or “nothing will change until other people change” - both horribly damaging views. You’re the problem, acting all complacent while the world goes to s***. Take some responsibility for your share of the s***. How is it so hard?
Just admit you’re unhappy and quit settling for less

Lmao you arguing too much for those basic twitter users bro.
Dudes consuming product of capitalist society daily. The fact he got internet which lets him able to rant this bs is product of capitalism and scale economy
it seems like an illness in western society nowdays, spoiled mfs rant about going communist when everything they got is built upon capitalism and they couldn't survive few days in urss
No wealth inequality is causing people to starve to death but keep drinking your Starbucks
How many people actually want change though?
How many people are properly unbiasedly educated enough to even know whether they are or arent?
I don’t get why people act like people can’t get rich with hard work tho?
Have you not ever seen a successful person. You saying every single successful person was put there to be successful including a dude who just starting seeing growth thru selling houses or sum?
Like I’m not tryna disagree maybe I’m just blind by capitalism too but I don’t get what you’re saying by it has us think we can be rich thru hard work etc
My great aunt came from the ghettos of Detroit and went to college and became a doctor and is very successful so it’s proven hard work can get you somewhere
i like the idea, but the people who will have to build this better society are being raised in the societies we have now. so how do you get such a large, coordinated shift in the thinking of people whose entire worldview is at odds with what you're talking about?
i feel like we'd need to be much more technologically advanced, basically post-scarcity, to have a realistic chance of the masses buying into this idea.
