Oh yeah, all very good points. Maybe you can also call me a sexist fascist bigoted incel, that'll really show off your knowledge on the subject

Mate, even the majority of socialists disagree with this view, let alone someone who is critical of socialism.

The USSR was a dictatorship full of nepotism and corruption, where you could get jailed for the dumbest reasons, ranging from being gay to practicing karate. None of these rules were established by workers and all of them were created by the bureaucracy.

The workers were the people who ended the USSR

Brazil? Their maximum tax bracket isn't even half of what I'm currently paying in taxes, and I'm not even in the highest bracket

Talk with some actual capitalists, and they'll all tell you that their core values are pretty much the opposite of whatever you're describing here.

Capitalism is simply the most successful system in the world, so it's an easy target for edgy teens who want something to blame for their failures.

But please do tell me how I'm exploiting the world, or how I'm violent or racist. Maybe you can call me an fascist incel so the word salad has all the cool things kids say nowadays

Colonialism was not capitalism, there's nothing capitalist about taking prisoners and stealing land for government charted monopolies.

Meanwhile northern Europe has the highest standard of living, healthcare quality, accessibility and life expectancy. And all of it is being paid for with the spoils of capitalism

Vietnam, Korea and the middle east should've shown that having an expensive army does not mean that you will win.

In a war of attrition, the US will fall first

Replacing a violent country with the system that historically always led to military dictatorships does not sound like a recipe for success.

You don't need socialism, you need northern European style capitalism

How about 🩹?

My girlfriend always laughs how fucked up my hands look after I finish a steelworking project

The crazier part is that most Europeans still have hope for that relationship

Yes and there's your problem. Instead of building a proper political system you just keep voting for tyrants all the while burning others because they voted on the wrong tyrant.

Stop voting and get your pitchforks out

[-] masterflappie@europe.pub 6 points 3 months ago

Look up "parliament" to learn why casting any vote rather than rebuilding the whole system from scratch leads to supporting tyrants

That's just the international equivalent of "thoughts and prayers"

What they need to do is put out an arrest warrant for Trump in the Hague where he should get a fair trial and a chance to defend himself on the legality of the invasion. If he fails, Europe should collectively embargo the US.

Let there be some real world consequences for once, not just a condemnation
