  • Eh, I’d say willingly believing obvious Russian Propaganda, and then even going so far as to say, *What’s wrong with Russia? They aren’t our enemy," in an attempt excuse their gullibility, makes them weird.

    Yes, I have had this conversation with obviously gullible people here on Lemmy over the past year. I remember some guy saying how Tim Pool is such an intellectual. How he used to be this super liberal guy from Vice News until he saw the “truth” and became a hardcore Alt-Right nutjob staunch conservative.

As long as you willingly give up your ownership…no you won’t be compensated for it…as long as you…hic…as long as you willingly give up ownership, then you won’t have to be forced to do it. But hey…you can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.”

    That only introduces new problems. Your advocating essentially for socialism as a replacement for capitalism.

    …and socialism will never work without a central authority overseeing it.

    …so you’ll need a revolutionary war in order to wrestle control from the bourgeoisie…

    …which will lead to massive bloodshed and economic turmoil.

    I think a more realistic approach would be to instill socialist ideals on our current capitalist system, such as salary caps, wealth taxes, inheretence tax tiers, UBI, socialized safety nets, etc. Rather than trying to redo our entire economic and governmental system.
