    Yeah it’s a shitty system. But it is objectively the best system. All the other systems lead to massive death. Like, lots and lots of death.

      You’re right, taxing the rich to pay for common-sense social programs is going to lead us straight to the gulags.

      Capitalism has led to more death than any other system we’ve come up with. It is a useful intermediary step between feudalism and socialism and instead of progressing we’ve stalled here and slowly but steadily turned it back into feudalism.
