Socialism allows for both public and private ownership, individual freedoms, and democratic decision-making, while still aiming for social equality. Communism, in contrast, tends to involve total state control and often limits personal freedoms.

Rules:
- Be civil and nice.
- Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
Limits personal freedoms only for the owning class. If you're not a landlord or ceo you have nothing to fear.
Ah yes, get rid of extremism with different extremism. I think we've been there already. Spoiler: Didnt work.
(Hierarchical) Power in general is the root cause, not Capitalism in particular
Maaaaaaybe the USSR isn't the best example of a better society we want to be building.
I'm watching the whole ideological-purge thing happen in the US and it kinda sucks.
Either build something better or shutup, I say. Unless you're a big fan of Tsarist Russia
I've played civilization and I'm pretty sure there's other forms of government besides Communism and Monarchy that have low corruption, albeit lacking the ability to force the citizens into war on the leader's whim.
Lol, good bit.
Isnt civilization the game where "democracy" has 0 corruption? I think its kinda biased and not exactly based on reality
It is the symptom, not the cause. Greed is the cause and it has been around a LOT longer than Capitalism.
The desire to dominate and the willingness to act on it has existed in a fraction of the population since before humans were human. This is the root of all evil, capitalism is a specific manifestation of this impulse that has only existed for some 400 years. If your analysis starts and ends at "capitalism bad" you miss the vast majority of oppression that has existed or will exist.
What's your evidence for your the root of evil is that some people just have an "evil" gene theory?
Amazing! (commenting so there aren't 88 comments 😤)

Keep pulling until you get hierarchy out.
