I’m my world, which is mostly what I can speak on..is most people calling for socialism are the one who went to college and were deemed the “smart/succesful ones” at the time, but the stupid people who either dropped out of school and hit the ground running at 16/17 or just entered the work force after highschool are the ones who have worked for years to be at a position where they can live comfortably with no debt and are totally fine with things the way they are…I just find that interesting, I know shits not perfect , poverty is everywhere, but if your a single mother with 5 kids living off state assistance I don’t think you should be living as comfortable as the person who held a job for 20 years and worked their way up the food chain, or scraped n saved n gambled everything on starting a business or investment and saw a good return, call me crazy but you reap what you sow and what notThat's just projecting. People HAVE to fit in to global capitalism, otherwise they're just lazy, stupid, etc. Doesn't matter what kind of factors they are dealing with, whether they're disabled or just grew up in a poor family, if they can't keep up it's their own fault. Adequate meritocracy doesn't actually exist in capitalism we just pretend it does and move on like we're doing the best we can.
We're not. The systems we have are far from just "not perfect", people are suffering and because we have inflated GDP rates, we think everything's fine and dandy. Meanwhile we have millions in poverty or worse, being bankrupted by a capitalist healthcare system that bankrupts everyone at some point. No retirement. I don't hate capitalism I just view it as the inadequate and unjust system it is.
Human evolution needed capitalism to get to the point that it's at, now it's time to utilize all those profits we've generated for good, and not just to gather dust in some psychopathic billionaires war chest.
