You’re right of course. However, is letting Israel kill some hundreds of civilians every week really an option?

By the end of Trump’s term, China may also have better civil rights than the US.

There is a long list of alternatives that starts with a military intervention to stop the genocide, and ends with relocating the refugees in other countries as the minimum act of decency. Somehow the world manages to go to the bottom of the list and digs down choosing to just watch.

I wonder how this will be explained in history books.

You must be amazing at parties 😂

How many times are you going to say “bye” before you actually fuck off?

Mate, you’re the one running away because you can’t deal with people having different beliefs to you

pick one

Don’t suffocate in your bubble.

Saved in the life hack folder.

This is ridiculous. There was no hesitation to intervene with weapons, troops, and sanctions in other conflicts in defense of the attacked, but with Israel nobody goes beyond words.

If the world lets Israel take Gaza, I do not understand why there is no action to relocate the Palestinians and avoid the massacre at least.

The west is authoritarian

Ok, bye.

Sadists always existed and always will. I’m more concerned by the democratic system that is vulnerable to stupidity and wealth.

It’s not what the meme says, nor the apparent general opinion here.

The meme says that Capitalism did not exists for 99% of history (save for the fact that apparently UK was a capitalistic society in 1500s according to some) and that the world was better without it, failing to acknowledge that besides the many defects, Capitalism also brought prosperity to a large portion of humanity (which according to some here is a bad thing since exploitations still exist somewhere), and that it was partially adopted also in ex Communist countries.

Oh, and apparently any western country is an Authoritarian regime, and China is the best country for the improvement of life quality (no mentions for dissidents, but the US is surely much worse).

This is basically the summary of the whole thread. I haven’t heard so much ideology since the high school.

It happened to me at work and it was a very bad period. Even if it ended well for me, no forgiveness.

It’s probably wrong to assume that the general public will be sensitive enough to privacy to force companies to compete on that terrain.

But it’s a fascinating topic and I hope to see it in practice at some point.

The term authoritarianism is utterly meaningless because all governments rely on coercion to maintain their authority.

I think that we can’t agree on the very basic definitions here.

I wish you good luck. Bye!

Progress that did not happen at the same rate in non-capitalistic societies.

not sure what you could possibly mean that communism didn’t work well

Authoritarianism, repression, slower innovation and progress compared to Capitalism, pick what you prefer.

Not even China or Russia are pure Communist anymore.

Of course there were the seeds because systems do not appear overnight, but that was not the Capitalism as we intend it today.

The right direction would obviously be socialism with public ownership of the means of production and an economy being directed towards meeting the needs of working majority as opposed to a handful of elites.

So communism.

Not that I dislike the idea in principle, it’s just that it didn’t work well.

I fail to see what any of this has to do with an economic system. These are scientific or legal topics.

Don’t you see relationships between political and economic systems? Capitalism is probably the most evident example of that.
