I've had the D+ for a few years for my daughter and then realized that all we watched was just a handful of movies on repeat (Frozen, Toystory, etc). So I cancelled it and just bought the movies.

So are you saying capitalism is about to end?

Oh, it's downhill from here. It'll get worse. The billionaires have almost all control of media and news outlets

Capitalism creates the contradictions that will inevitably force it to come to and end. The 7-10 year recession/depression “business cycle” is what will lead to capitalists automating away all jobs in the name of searching for higher profits.

It either is replaced by socialism, or barbarism.

First we start with anarchism then the reset

u/OkCartographer7677 17d ago

Yeah, because so many countries that went through anarchism came out so much better.

Nah anarchists have no order or structure. Socialism is the way.

​Anarchism doesn't reject structure; it rejects vertical hierarchy.

u/JMC_MASK 15d ago

Okay. And I’m saying the decentralized utopia that anarchists envision is not a pragmatic thing as some vertical hierarchy is still going to be needed in our transition away from capitalism.

Unless you think your decentralized entities are able to defeat highly organized capital, you’re going to need some “vertical hierarchy”.

But hey, yall are still comrades at the end of the day. So I won’t fight you that hard.

Not really socialism. It would be plutocratism.

You realize that none of this would exist in any other economic system right…???

u/DoctorBlock 17d ago

China is communist so is Russia. Currently China is on a fast track to outpace the American economy in 2-5 years.

u/Neat_Let923 16d ago

Can’t tell if you’re a bot or just an idiot…

Both China and Russia are authoritarian capitalist countries.
