    I’m a fan of pragmatism: real solutions to real problems.

        Yeah, but I don’t think communism is a bulletproof solution either. Both systems have their strengths and weaknesses.

        The real issue is that people think the disparity in wealth should grow instead of shrink.

          Maybe there’s a sweet spot in between Capitalism and Communism. They are basically the 2 extremes of the political spectrum after all. Surely there’s a spot on the spectrum that embraces worker’s rights while also incentivising commercial enterprise. Checks and balances are always necessary, even in a utopia.

          Who literally says that? Capitalism is the only system that allows people to dig themselves out of that hole. Know any Cubans? Socialism works awesome…says nobody crushed by it.

            I think you’re projecting your tribalistic tendencies onto literally everyone else on the planet.

            Can you explain the structural issues you belive Socialism to necessarily have? Can you explain why they are inevitable in Socialism, and moreso than Capitalism?
