China is proof that a better world is possible through communism, where the government works for the people instead of the billionaire class and the 1%.
It should come as no surprise that American politicians and media vilify China and communism because of which class owns them.
Do you believe Hayek or Polanyi?
Hayek thought state interference with markets leads to totalitarianism.
Polanyi thought that free markets that were not embedded in society leads to totalitarianism.
I’m with Polanyi.
For democracy to stay strong and healthy, we need democratic control over mobile capital and finance.
There was only one period in history when we had this: 1945-75.
It’s no coincidence we call this period the 30 golden years.
@SnakeHoppe@Mann2609 If you don't want to pay taxes, don't use roads, schools, or the fire department. You don't get to enjoy the benefits of society without chipping in.
Privatisation wasn't some accident done by people who thought "This will work better and save money"
It was the deliberate destruction of Governments powers and control to destroy democracy and create puppet states who would be controlled by a handful of billionaires forever
The purpose of charity is to take responsibility for providing basic services from the rich and dump it onto the poor.
Then the rich run those 'charities' and steal all the money.
It is 2026 there should be no charities for homelessness or food.
THAT'S THE GOVERNMENTS JOB.
Tax the rich.
