@SiR_GameZaloT Yes, and politics is exactly how the human species got itself into its own crisis of further existence.It hasn't been world war that did it! Just the continuance of mutual gratifications between liars in power & billions of soft headed victims who believe in fairy tales like permanent economic growth being possible on a finite planet.Everyone needs to grow up before life becomes impossible, Everyone!#climate #politics #reality

@GregDance @SiR_GameZaloTThe idea that capitalism requires infinite growth comes from Marx. Naturally, it’s false.https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2013/02/the-end-of-growth-wouldnt-be-the-end-of-capitalism/273367/

@TruthSandwich @SiR_GameZaloT Why do you say 'naturally'?To put a historic figure's observations or opinions into perspective properly you would need to compare the ppm CO2 & state of the global climate when he was alive.Anything less belongs on GB News.

@GregDance @SiR_GameZaloTNaturally, because Marx is reliably wrong. Marxism has never been successfully implemented.Actually, that’s something of an understatement: all attempts have been disastrous.That’s because, as I pointed out, Marx was wrong.https://truth-sandwich.com/2023/07/05/real-red-magic/#politics #marxism #anticapitalism #socialism

@TruthSandwich @GregDance @SiR_GameZaloT The problem with Marxism is the same problem with all forms of governance. Humans. Humans are always the problem. There is *always* some asshole that can't be happy without shitting on large groups of people for money, power, women, whatever. A.L.W.A.Y.S.

@BigMcLargeHuge @GregDance @SiR_GameZaloTThe difference is that capitalism, when properly regulated, works. We know because we have examples.In contrast, socialism has never worked and never will. Communism, per Marx’s definition, has never even been tried and could not be.

@TruthSandwich @GregDance @SiR_GameZaloT I disagree. Once resources get centralized to just a small group of people the majority suffers in the name of endless profits.

@BigMcLargeHuge @GregDance @SiR_GameZaloTUhm, the first step towards communism is the dictatorship of the proletariat, under which all capital is seized and then centralized by the government in the name of the people. There’s supposed to be a second step, but somehow they never get there. Can’t imagine why.In contrast, regulating capitalism limits concentration of wealth. It doesn’t remove it, because that wouldn’t work and wouldn’t even be fair, but it keeps it in check.I wrote about this: https://truth-sandwich.com/2023/05/02/on-the-division-of-pie/#politics #communism #socialism #capitalism #anticapitalism

@TruthSandwich @BigMcLargeHuge @GregDance @SiR_GameZaloT except that regulating capitalism never works in the long run and never has because as long as there is money and politics money will drive politics.Capitalism fundamentally operates as a brutally exploitative relationship where the highest good is the maximizing of profit, and it is impossible to tame that evil for good.The second step of limiting the concentration of wealth, for some reason, never happens.

@Kropotkinbaking @BigMcLargeHuge @GregDance @SiR_GameZaloTThis is commie nonsense.Even your savior, St. Bernard, admits that Sweden’s regulated capitalism works. Thing is, he dishonestly calls it socialism.Go back to Russia.

@TruthSandwich @BigMcLargeHuge @GregDance @SiR_GameZaloT Saint Bernard is a Democrat sheepdog, not a leftist, and an appeal to authority won't work on leftists. We're not sainting politicians, that's for liberals.Swedens regulated capitalism still depends on brutal exploitation of and resource extraction from the Third World. Hiding your exploitation in the basement of the Global South doesn't mean it disappears.

@Kropotkinbaking @BigMcLargeHuge @GregDance @SiR_GameZaloTSt. Bernard is not a Democrat.Literally: he runs as an independent and consistently insists that he’s not a Democrat. See attached image.The fact that this extremist nut isn’t extremist enough for you says little about him, but much about you.#BernieSanders #DNC #uspol #democrats
