      Not my analogy, but observing people living under capitalism and then concluding that humans are naturally selfish is like looking at workers in a factory where pollution is poisoning their lungs and then concluding that humans naturally cough a lot.

        What a moronic take, Christian.

        I, with many others, live in a capitalistic country and live a great life with social safety nets. The conclusion comes from empirical data that all former attempts at pure socialism/communism has failed due to human greed and corruption. If I am wrong, then show me so I can learn.

        Do better than trying to ridicule someone just because they disagree with you. Argue in good faith if you want to have a meaningful exhchange.

      No it does not, but it has been tested several times over and has failed every single time. At some point we should focus on improving what we have instead. No amount of downvotes will change that.

      I don’t know where you are from, but I do not feel like I live in a exploitative and fucked up system. Northern Europe for reference.

          You calling me ignorant while displaying a complete lack of understanding of basic history is just sad.

          I don’t support your proven oppressive and evil form of rule. I never will and most people won’t. You can keep telling yourself that we are all vicious evil capitalists for disagreing with you, but I guarantee you I support more socialist causes than you ever will.
