    You claim communism is impossible to implement yet you have no issue in attempting to implement a democracy that capitalism won’t be able to pervert, despite one never having existed before and it being impossible for one to exist.

    It sounds less like genuine rationality and more like rationalising a status quo bias. Even worse when people are claiming capitalism to be the natural order of life, despite existing for less than 0.0000001% of it and humans being egalitarian for far longer than they were capitalist.

    Peak homoeconomus experiencing “capitalist realism.” They even colonised your dreams.

        No, you’re just rationalising sociopathy with thoroughly disproved social-Darwinism. Contrary to what people think, it was our sharing of resources that set us appart from our competitors, not competition within our species. That’s basic human evolutionary history.

        People had to be beaten, whipped, staved, dispossessed of their land and forced leave their egalitarian lives to endure capitalism, making it the opposite of human nature. You just don’t know the history of capitalism.

        Again, can you name one single country that hasn’t had its democracy utterly perverted by capitalism? We both know you can’t and that’s why you refuse to answer. Can you even name one check that hasn’t been perverted? As you can’t, why do you think any could magically work now?

        Believing it to be human instinct is just telling on yourself for you lack of empathy, believing everyone else has as little as you do.

        We were egalitarian for 10s of thousands of years. That’s real human nature whether you like it or not. Just because we happen to be ruled over by the most greedy and sociopathic people in society, it doesn’t make it our nature.

        You can’t name a time capitalism hasn’t perverted democracy and failed the 99% but think failing that way only applies to communism. Like I said, peak homo economicus experiencing capitalist realism. You fell for the first lie you were told and refuse to hold it to account.

            Well, I didn’t think you were but, if you say so. Calling yourself a clown too was a bit much though.

            Just the one piece popcorn is it? 🤣

            Sorry for the late reply. I was actually living a life. No time for revolutions. Sadly, people are too stupid to see their gilded cages.
