Yes, again, your pro-capitalist views are noted. And they explain a lot.

If you have a suggestion for a system that is proven to work better and not devolve into authoritarianism (or at least not as quickly), I'm all ears.
I think we're better off fixing the system we have, which to me means:
Throwing everything out and trying something new more often results in authoritarianism and/or poverty than freedom and prosperity.
Why does it have to have been proven to work better in order to try it? What a regressive way of looking at the world.
Because changing a whole economic/government system has proven to have a very high chance of failure, resulting in people being even worse off. For every success story, there are dozens of failures.
So unless you have a gradualist/reformist approach that either has been proven or is easy to back out of, I'm not interested.
