It’s jealousy. It’s the kid that gets what he wanted then gets angry because he sees someone with something better. That’s going to keep happening no matter what you get. The demon you need to conquer is within. It’s jealousy.
This you? A person who automatically attributes opinions they disagree with with negative emotions or negative personality traits isn’t someone I have the patience to educate in an endless conversation I’ve already had plenty of times.
If you do genuinely want to have your beliefs challenged, I would suggest you to read Capital in the 21st Century (written by a non-socialist, mind you), but since I presume you aren’t going to bite and read a book that long, you can also check the channel “Unlearning Economics”, which does specifically focus on the neoliberal points you’re regurgitating.
I’m not a tankie/stalinist either. If there’s a radical change in the economic system I defend, that’s for an economy widely based on worker-consumer cooperatives, with a state that handles redistribution in the extremes, social services and infrastructure, not an all-controlling state.
You’re right, that was a bit rude of me. I apologize. That’s just the only thing that it ever seems to come to. It’s just that nobody ever seems to want to acknowledge that we are living in the best time ever, and things are rapidly improving. They just want to focus on what a few other people have that they don’t. The outrage is almost never about the people who have a fraction of what almost everyone in the 1st world has, it’s always on what the small handful of people have that average 1st world person doesn’t have.
I’d love for someone to actually explain what they want to have happen, but it seems like nobody actually knows. They always defer to someone else when you press them. They simply don’t know. They just have a vague idea of rich people are why the world is so horribly shitty, but from nearly every metric, we are way better than ever before, and we are rapidly improving.
