Prime example Finnland. Highest tax rate on the rich in the world and also ranks as the happiest nation on earth regularly.
Lesser example is that the USA, while failing, is still in a much better position than Russia which has been solely countrolled by a plutocratic oligarchy for decades.
Clearly there is a spectrum for how much or how little people control policy and wealth. There is a a battle going on between the rich and the governments built by the people.
Finland is currently run by the same oligarch network chain, vassals of Trump and his handlers, planning to use the area for nukes for the big show.
Capitalists have their brown shirts in the government, currently a child groomer as a Minister of Social Affairs and Health. Once in a while a centrist (still capitalist) party might become the biggest (next year probable), but it works in the ratchet politics method, never undoing the damage, basically a controlled opposition.
Highest unemployment rate in Europe. Food banks have to turn people away.
Everything that used to better than elsewhere is cut down. Austerity agenda.
The degree of riggedness is just more hidden, the same world systems “democracy” there isn’t able to purge or become isolated from the now rotten institutions everywhere.
The best example of democracy is the happiest most well cared for people on earth.
The best example of an anarchy is Myanmar (at least before the 2021 coup) and has common people living like medieval peasants while the elite treat it as the world’s most expensive resort location, while also being manipulated by China in proxy aggression with India.
My view on true happiness is that happiness is good and the system that creates the most happiness with the least suffering is the best system.
I’m having trouble understanding which part of that you oppose. Is it your opinion that there should be less happiness total or that all happiness should cost equal or greater suffering?

lmao
You may laugh, but if even some best example of democracy has the people in such a dire situation, they for sure aren’t laughing

If that is your view on true happiness and being well cared for, then what is the point of anything. Slavery with extra steps

My view is that a system based on harm, suffering, exploitation and oppression causes an unjust ceiling to the available happiness
Edit: not even a subjective view, that’s how it actually is
Progress is blocked arbitrarily by sticking to “it’s not that bad somewhere” thinking
The system that demonstrably has the least suffering is built upon suffering? How do you figure?
It’s like I’m arguing with Bizarro Superman.
