    Yes, we see a lot of advancements in North Korea, Laos or Kuba. Those are totally not one of the poorest ans most deprived nations in the world.

    And yes, the fact Kim family abuses their citizens is totally EU’s and USA’s fault.

    So far no one has built it to the level where money is useless. And the countries that have tried ultimately failed and usually returned to capitalism - for example India, Israel or pretty much most of Warsaw pact countries.






  • There is quite a difference between democracy and socialism. For example, while democracy did not work in France, there were several other countries that have proven democracy works. For example, Greece, Rome, or even United States. On the contrary, socialism has been in many countries and failed every single time, no matter the situation. Countries of Warsaw pact tried it and 30 years after it collapsed, the quality of life in these countries is still worse compared to the Western Europe. Similar with countries such as Israel, India, Great Britain, North Korea and many more that have tried socialist tendencies but eventually returned to capitalist economies.

    Same for capitalism, there have been countries that became quite successful thanks to it such as Switzerland, Singapore or Ireland.












  • First of all, I do not see how our lives are based on a dictatorship by wealthier people.

    How do you then want to democratize the economy? Do you want companies to have a structure where everyone votes?

    You know, there is a significant difference between a state and a company. When you dislike a company, you can very easily just move to another one, when you feel abused by your boss, you can change the job anytime. In most countries, we have no laws that prohibit you from changing your job. On the other hand, to get a citizenship in my country, you need to live here realistically for 8 years. What I am trying to say here is that even if a company has a terrible leadership, it’s not the end of the world. It will probably end bankrupt but people can still find a job somewhere else. On the other hand, incompetent leading of a state can impact life more seriously and most importantly an individual cannot change the situation easily.

    Last but not least you are saying that shareholders and private owners are parasites is not true at all. They give money to the company. Without that, you can have skilled employees but will they work for the sake of enjoying life in a democratic company? I highly doubt.
