    We’ll regulated capitalism is unironically the greatest human innovation. I’m glad the world is not as brain dead as Lemmy on this.

      Probably fertilizer tbh, but capitalism always likes to steal the glory from technological progress, and claims to be freedom although nearly everyone is poor and forced to work for slave wages. Then capitalists point to the most authoritarian countries in history and say, see socialism sucks. Like no bro, Russia sucks, Russia has been a shit hole with every form of government they had, because they are authoritarians.

      Funny how capitalists always ignore the good socialist societies that are highly regulated free markets with strong workers and consumer protection laws and fairly high taxes and strong welfare states, but they ignore all the terrible capitalist societies all over the world. It’s a miracle that a capitalist economy isn’t a miserable shit hole, but that requires self awareness and actually researching and educating yourself, not listening to some dick in a 15,000 dollar suit, from a corporate funded think tank thats only job is to push capitalist propaganda, or distract people from realizing socialism is better.
