Capitalism breeds fascism. As long as we have capitalism we will fight fascism. Communism is not the answer though nor is any extreme ideology. Social direct democracy or even sociocracy would be better systems.
capitalism breeds fascism. I support capitalism
Social democracy is an extreme ideology
Social Democracy retains Private Ownership as the principle aspect of its economy, ergo its still Capitalist. Fascism isn't distinct from Capitalism, but Capitalism in certain circumstances, ie when it needs to put on a mask and brutally protect itself from its own decay, before taking off the mask and pretending it's something else, ie it keeps Capitalism's record "clean."
Further, being radical does not equal being wrong. Distance from the status quo does not mean it is not correct, we need to judge legitimately the merits of Socialism/Communism and not just say they are too radical.
Not necessarily. A true sociocracy would value corporations on a system of social good. Not, as now, a measure of how much spare money it has after trade and costs. It should also be very possible to run corporations as co-operatives which spread ownership among the workers.
Unless the Proletariat has control of the state, and thus can implement a "corporation behavior credit score" like in the PRC that isn't in control of private interests, you will see corporations just lobby and get what they want that way. Socialism remains necessary, which is the first step to Communism.
Secondly, cooperative ownership is nice, but it doesn't stop the natural centralizing of markets or prove more efficient than public ownership and planning at higher levels of development.
Really, it sounds like you would like the PRC's model of economy. Companies like Huawei are worker-owned, the Proletariat has control over the state and thus profit isn't the central guiding factor of the economy, and there are checks in place to punish corporations that go against benchmarks and metrics for "good" vs "bad" behavior.
This is the "extreme ideology" you said doesn't work.
nor is any extreme ideology. Social direct democracy
Whoah hold it right there, that's democratic extremism! You're taking away all the representatives of bribery and extortion. Best to leave a few weak points, for balance.
Of course something simillar to Switzerland's model.
