    calling capitalism a scam is moot, the other viable alternative, socialism is even worse.

    also, no country on planet earth is pure-capitalism, not even in US. Northern European countries have proven that market economy with the right taxation policies can effectively distribute income. I wished more wokeist knew about this or at least bothered to do a bit of research.

      I live in Norway. The system is fucked. The economy is full of monopolies and the solution is always to subsidise things that become unaffordable instead of putting a price cap on them. Private companies are allowed to charge whatever they want because they know that the government has their back.

        The issue here is the lack of regulation. Regulations work. What doesn’t work and is a scam is “the free market will autoregulate”.

      You’re mixing socialism and communism. Going from here, you see more than two options what make it a non-binary issue.

      Communism itself has multiple variations. What we saw until today with fever exceptions wasn’t communism either. It was dictatorship using communism. At the beginning, they may believe in the ideology but once in power, they took another path.
