    Agreed, seems like “capitalism” has become analogous with “greed”, which I mean, they sort of go hand in hand, but that doesn’t mean greed doesn’t exist without capitalism.

      it’s kind of like how USSR/Russia was seen bad because of communism, and now since 1991 they are not communist so they are the good guys.

      It is the same freaking country, they just embraced fascism over communism in the last 3 decades.

      I think people also conflate social democracy with socialism, and/or communism.

      And communism with Stalins dictatorship (and Xi etc etc).

      The ideas behind the ideologies are all interesting but only democracy have proven “not horribly killing a large part of the population and a large part of the neighbour population” like all the time

      So for me anyways, it’s full democracy, then tack on socialism (for example).

      I think the discussion about democracy is also largely non present, I mean how fun is it if other people just decide what they want and you can like object every X Years?

      We got democracy 0.1 let’s move forward!
