capitalism doesnt work either. it just works on a superficial level. capitalism has ravaged the environment more than alot of people understand.
your mentioning propaganda to a guy who is spouting off about venezuela, a country which america is currently meddling with LOL
Could you please just once and for all tell us what system will guarantee no one will struggle? That won't deplete the Earth's resources or harm the environment? Will guarantee peace and harmony? There are 7 billion plus people on the planet. Billions of them have their own little agendas. Humanity is an ever ebbing and flowing boiling pot and no few rich guys control everything. Where I'm at college age people have never heard of Netflix or Amazon. You assume too much, you presume too much. If you somehow managed to bring down the whole system all you would do is create a power vacuum that others would gladly step in and fill, and kill you if you stood in their way. Do you really want to spend the rest of your life raging against the machine? If you don't have a family then get a dog or two. Focus all your energy on them, give them a great life, and in the end you will have accomplished something worthwhile. Or you can continue to spit in the wind.
I was listening to Jonah Goldberg on a podcast today and he was making some good points about capitalism. The most interesting to me was how capatalism is a very recent system in terms of human history. Democratic capatalist society is not a natural state for humans. It has been the engine for the greatest increase in wealth for the average person while also elevating some to extreme riches. Every system we’ve tried so far has some people substantially better off than the rest, only capatilism has raised the quality of life of the average serf much more than anything else we’ve tried.
im not an expert but im guessing whatever system actually works would be localized, efficient, decentralized, more democratic....and have synthetic meat instead of the real thing.
the system will infect your family even if you ignore it. corporate capitalism is all encompassing.

". "Increases in suicide tend to correlate with economic downturns," she said, and this generation has been hit particularly hard by economic hardship in recent years."
That didn't answer the question. Name a better system.
She said was money could be a possible cause for the 45-64 age group. Not that capitalism was the cause of suicide. The fact is we don’t know what people are thinking. If you ask everyone if they feel depressed or suicidal, very few will say yes. Relationships and health are two major factors that contribute to suicide.
already did.
yea i saw that. and what causes relationship and health to deteriorate?
ty corrupt system we have) is a big part of it.No, you haven't unless you mean you're going to replace the whole system with cooperatives.
Have many neighbors that live in Vancouver. They say it’s the Chinese buying it up. They are also paying the 20% buyers tax without any problem. One said they just sold, moved near abbotsford where it’s cheaper and much nicer. Do you realize there are other places to live?
