    It’s okay to be a social democrat, buddy, welfare states are perfectly acceptable forms of ideological liberalism.

    One might even call it a step on the path to actual socialism. Someone should write a book about these transitionary states, perhaps leading to the eventual withering of the state entirely.

      What do you propose as an alternative way to address the wealth inequality without completely redesigning capitalism?

        Have you considered… Abolishing capitalism?

        Weird idea, I wonder if there’s literally millions of pages of thought on how to do that, or if some state somewhere just, like, didn’t let individuals own factories and such

          Sure. I was 20 once. I’m asking realistically. How would you propose addressing the wealth inequality within the means of our current system?

            Our current system isn’t even that old. Burn it down. Stop internalizing the idea that capitlaism is necessary or inevitable.

              Then I hope you like eating dent corn. The US produces a fraction of its resources, addressing the economy with a full upheaval would inevitably deflate the US Dollar enough to destroy our import/export trade for quite a while.
