Gen Z like 'safety capitalism.' It's a lot like what we have now but with more help for people who lose their jobs or get sick.

Gen Zers are embracing "safety capitalism" because they think the current social safety net is insufficient.

      Anarchism has too many forms and communism doesn’t work on a large scale (greed and corruption are too easy).

      I’m not saying capitalism is working!!

              Good point. In that case, show me a successful communist nation.

                So, just so we’re clear, Communism doesn’t work, because it hasn’t been successful.

                But Capitalism does work, even though it hasn’t been successful.

                We do have Socialist nations and they are doing better than everyone else, with the highest happiness rates, and most of the necessities covered. But to answer your question, we have no successful countries at all. The closest we have are Socialist nations.

              I don’t know, man… most developed nations are having quite a nice ride compared to the so-called communist countries.

                  Does this matter? Every communist state I’ve known has failed.

                  The idea may sound good in principle, but clearly humans can’t grasp it.

              I see you tankies don’t know what it is at all. My family has lived through that shit, so you can kindly go fuck yourself. Bad capitalism is 1000xs better than anything communism can spit out.

                  Naa I got bored of arguing with a dumbass tankie. You still think communism is going to magically make people want to work harder than others without rewards and you also still think those in power won’t abuse an it.

        Socialism exists only as a stepping stone to the end goal of anarchism/communism.

        If you don’t believe those work, there is no point in advocating for socialism.

            Okay.

            But you do realise the Soviet Union was socialist right? We kinda need to move away from the state based control model.

                An anarchist/communist based society.

                We see time and time again what happens when you give all the power to a small subset of society.

                  I’m all for a classless society, but we need a structure for governing. I’d say a global structure. But I don’t think humans are capable of that kind of thing. Greed and prejudice are too powerful.
