    Ok, I’d love to hear of a modern example of a system that isn’t based on some form of capitalism. If the broad statement being thrown around that capitalism in any form is inherently evil, what is the alternative?

      S.D. Chrostowska - Utopia in the Age of Survival focuses on resisting that kind of political cynicism and defeatism, attempting to address humanity’s existential challenges, the most totalizing and dominant of which being capitalism.

        And yet none of these systems exist in any modern country in the world… maybe because they are all good on paper, but impossible to implement in the real world because they won’t work.

        And really, you’re linking Lenin? Communists are just naive. It will never work in real life, and every time it’s been tried, it fails, or is perverted to be CINO.

          None of what systems? Huh? I know you won’t engage with the critical thinking it takes, but for the reader: capitalism is just the last few hundred years’ new iteration of the domination that’s been carried out by those with resources against/using those without/with less. The milquetoast liberal refrain “it will never work,” “it’s been tried” drfeatism is pathetic naivete at best, intentional psyop to breed nihilism and maintain the status quo at worst.
