Right-wing, conservative.
Yeah sure, than who made 5G internet? Socialists?
And you think internet would be as good as it is today without these companies that invest a lot of money to enhance it and hence make more money?
But what if one wanted/needed more of some goods than others? It’s impossible to plan everything, even when it’s “democratic”.
And if someone critically needs something, and can’t afford it - that’s what social help is for.
Stop planing my life, stop deciding for me. That’s what freedom is, freedom we fought for.
That’s really naive. You think that there is an infinite amount of goods you can redistribute to anyone who wants it?
I’ve never said it’s ideal. But for sure more effective than socialism
That’s fucking terrible. It’s like if I was using a product made by people that killed a lot of people in my country.
Communism is a totalitarian system and so It’s a violation of human rights.
That’s not socialism. That’s socdem. And it’s still capitalism
I don’t think you understand what I have said. React.js would be possible without capitalism. But it is made by Facebook (capitalist company). And it must be a really reliable choice if Facebook and Mastodon decided to use it
Free market is a democracy. That’s awesome you support small business and if more people were doing the same thing I can guarantee that big corporations wouldn’t be a problem.
Another really important factor are regulations. Capitalism right now is way to regulated which makes it really difficult for small businesses to exist. On the other hand big corporations are not regulated enough tho.
We should work on existing system, try to improve it rather than change it to totally different.
Also if you wanted to make a switch to socialism you would have to rob a lot of people from their private property
Maybe I’m just a shitty person but I can easily tell which topic here is more interesting.
It is important to know what is happening with immigrants too tho
It is what it is for now but give it some time and it’s going to shine!
Yeah I could have given arguments in the same comment.
Where. Give me an example of a socialist country
Wow. Read the rest of the thread because I’m not gonna rewrite stuff.
But as I was saying. I live in post communist country and the influence of socialism was extraordinarily destructive and I can see damage made from it to these days.
If you seriously compare socialism with opensource then I’m sorry for you.
I’m huge advocate for opensource software and I can even say it’s my life passion and I really know how important the relation between capitalism and opensource is.
You wouldn’t have react.js without capitalism. You know what is made in react.js? Mastodon
They could have used different library for js. one made totally by volunteers, but they haven’t. Why? Capitalism and opensource provide reliable products because there is a money factor and it fuels development
Do you have any example of working socialism?
He has “anarchist” in the nickname lol
