I have a good life, but there are homeless people all around me. Is capitalism solving that?
The thing is, the self-proclaimed socialist systems (and I emphasize ‘self-proclaimed’) run by these authoritarian regimes doesn’t solve it either.
I’m all for abolishing capitalism, but we must be careful about what we allow to serve as a template to go forward on. And ‘regime which solves none of the issues of capitalism, but remains worse than a bourgeois democracy on almost all issues’ is something which should be highlighted as NOT a desirable path to go down.
