Hopefully something will fix it. Maybe it'll be communism. It's just a little ridiculous to believe that humans are hardwired to be capitalists. Especially since we've had two major economic systems prior to capitalism.
I'd be open to a bottom-up communist-like path of change. I've given it some thought but haven't come up with anything viable that doesn't easily succumb to corruption.
What do you mean "bottom-up Communist-like path to change?" What's wrong with a democratic worker state?
Like a democracy?
What Communist argues against Democracy?
That interesting. How does one fund a campaign? How far vertical does a communist state go. How much power do those positions have? Seems like we just end up where we are now.
Within Capitalism, Socialism, or Communism?
As far as it needs to for proper administration as democratically decided.
As much as it needs as democratically decided.
In what manner?
Do you have a vision of what you'd like to see? Is there paths that can feasibly be done today to help steer the boat in a more communistic way? I'm just saying if we try the top down approach and kill off the dissidents again we'll just fail.
Collectivization of the Means of Production, with Production planned Centrally to satisfy the needs of the whole from the productivity of the whole, ie Socialism and eventually Communism.
Reform cannot work. Revolution is inevitable with Capitalist decline, so building up dual power to help that Revolution be steered in a democratic and organized manner.
What, specifically, are you referring to, and why would it need to be repeated?
