Like Keynsenianism? Neo-liberalism? Capitalism in general?
I mean it works and we have actual things. You just have to restrain it and modify which is still in the future of USA when many countries are long past this phase. It is as simple as taxing rich and redistribution. Then we can get the poor to contribute more by welfare and more gain for everyone. But again you cannot overtax or eliminate rich completely as there is no incentive anymore to strive to become rich and create startups, companies, businesses etc.
In interconnected world they can also run away but this is big problem for communism too. Specialists run from communist country to make it big on another side of iron curtain, or just to not starve.
All in all it’s pretty comfy here and no sight of communism whatsoever. Only online some niche people worship a book and call you names pretty quickly
What’s funny I never heard ever of immigration from capitalist country to communist one because either a. Purportedly pUrE cOmMunIsM doEsnT eXisT (yet? Ever?) b. It is shit.
1# The communism is when it works. It doesn’t work? It isn’t communism. See the rule nr 1#
I think this is more because money is no longer used for its original intention, i.e. facilitating the easy trade of goods and services, instead of a physical resource to hoard for the purposes of calling on future promises or just for more hoarding.
