When we explain to other people how our capitalist system works and they recoil in horror
When we explain to other people how our capitalist system works and they recoil in horror
Any comments about how we can "fix" capitalism will be promptly removed and the user given a timeout for rule 2. Capitalism is an inherently oppressive system.
Is this a SocDem-free zone? :o
Socdem doesn’t prevent corporate capture of the state because it’s just milquetoast reforms that don’t change the power structure. At best it just delays the inevitable while making life slightly more comfortable for those under it’s oppression.
Many SocDems believe capitalism simply needs to be reformed or properly controlled. This would not be allowed since regulating capitalism would still not remove the inequities inherent to it. For example, no matter how much we regulate capitalism in the US, it's still bound to cause global suffering, not to mention the gradual, inevitable destruction of all human life.
Just a couple of months ago a German court ruled that a magazine was extremist because analysing the capitalist system must consequently arouse the desire to destroy it. Well..
Sauce?
I thought it was this case:
https://gesetze.berlin.de/bsbe/document/NJRE001591260
Where a German magazine was suing against being watched by the constitution protection agency. But it’s not quite like that. I dug around a bit, gotta say, I didn’t find it. Because of the inherent irony I am still sure I read about it like that.
This is what's funny about people claiming that users on XHS are propaganzing people to hate America. It's Americans complaining about objectively true things and Chinese people saying stuff like:
- "Do people really sell their blood?"
- "It can't be that bad, right?"
- "I'm tired of hearing all this negative stuff. Can you tell us about some of the positive things about America?"
- "I heard the American users are paid by our government to make it look bad" or "Maybe all the American who come here are lower class"
Give Americans a brick wall to talk to and people will claim the wall is radicalizing us 🤣
Lol This is not even an exaggeration. This is what my fyp is like right now.
Or it is claimed that what life is under capitalism could be what life would be like under socialism/communism.
