  • capitalism too has its downsides and there’s plenty to improve on

    No I think you don’t understand. Capitalism allows rich people to get richer by exploiting the resources of the earth at the expand of the climate and poor people altogether. It’s not something that can be improved, it’s something that needs to be stopped ASAP.

    And there isn’t ONE solution to “replace” capitalism, like communism or socialism or whatever, it’s all about solutions to each problems : ban private jets, yacht, and stuff like that ; taxing the rich to stop them hoarding all the wealth, more carbon taxes to force companies into being more eco friendly, banning stuff made by slavery, children, and underpaid workers in far countries, favor locally grown goods, raise the minimum wage, etc.

    It’s gonna be hard for everyone but it’s the only way to stop fucking everything up. Capitalism is a cancer that needs to be removed or it will grow until it kill its host. Only the rich will survive, all of us will die slowly.

    That’s an oversimplification, but let’s try putting it your way : if 1 is most left and 100 most right, republicans are at 90 and democrats at 70. Lots of auto proclaimed “Centrists” like Elon Musk are around 85.

    Of course I’m pulling these numbers out of my ass but US politics have no left whatsoever.
