    We are talking about people who have the capital in society to make actual systemic changes to society. Such as restructuring our economy to value lives, wellbeing, and sustainability over profit.

    Quite obviously 80% of people do not have that capital.

    You are cherrypicking statistics, seemingly to deliberately miss the point.

    Global comparisons of income mean exactly nothing to the quality of life of people living within their country.

    Even people deemed in that global top 20% are living paycheck-to-paycheck, and are unable to leverage that to make changes.

        Completely irrelevant to what I wrote. My comment has nothing to do with socialism.

        Not to mention fallaciously attributing technological innovations to capitalism as if they could not occur under other economic systems.

            Are you a bot, or just responding to the wrong person? Because that’s the second comment in a row that has nothing to do with what I wrote.

              What I wrote is completely germane, you just can’t admit it or argue against what I’m saying because then it would be harder for you to gaslight people into voting for socialism.

                You are the only one ranting about socialism here.

                    'm not ranting about anything, I’m just responding to your posts. It’s not my fault you choose to speak in euphemisms rather than directly say what you mean.

                    So you have imagined my entire worldview and all the positions you are arguing against.

                    No, dickhead. When I argue for socialism, I actually argue for socialism with my full chest, not with euphemisms.

                    Anyway, this is not about me. So unless you want to try and defend your indefensible positions… have a nice day.

                    So you slither into my mentions, hallucinate things I didn’t say, and expect me to “defend” arguments that only exist in your head. Sod all the way off.

                    Dropping the biggest turd of an argument and expecting me to pick it up. Pick it up yourself, and eat it.

            Are you confusing socialism with communism again? And are you confusing authoritarian dictatorships with communism?

            No, that’s a complete lie. It has never resulted in the death of anyone, but rather has saved millions of lives and improved their - and our - standards of living.

            But then, you don’t actually know what socialism is, so you just make up lies for the evil boogyman hiding in your closet.
