    Corruption will exist in every government, regardless of economic system. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

      Try not to fixate on the corruption- that’s essentially a smokescreen; the whole point is that the system itself is designed to concentrate wealth.

      Since we’re bandying about well-trodden quotes, how about this one:

      “A bad system will beat a good person every time.” -E. Deming

          How about the opposite? A decentralized system, avoiding concentrating power in any one place, and focusing on building platforms for coordination to act on larger scales

            As a Lemmy user I’m certainly intrigued with the buzzwords you’ve thrown out, but there doesn’t seem to be an actual system anywhere in there.
