@curious_one1156 profound statement. People thinking they might one day live like an oligarch themselves is what keeps this entire system running

@anthonymorris5084 every nation controls its own resources? Seriously? How often have you travelled to the global south? How much do you know about how their systems of organization work. Very few nations control their own resources. Go ask nations like Libya or Mali what happens when you try to control your own resources

The ruling elite got very good at playing with language to sell an idea. This guy is merely learning from that. I’m not sold on socialism (at least not for every society. But calling it economic democracy is a pretty slick move for people who advocate for it

@jeangingras4631 yes and I’m noticing that the sweet spot on that scale seems to be different for every society. I wasn’t saying it is a one or the other type thing. What I don’t like about both capitalist purists and socialist purists is that they have this one size fits all type mentality. What works in one county might not work in another. China is a good example of this, they found their own balance with what works for them

The “core” doesn’t seem to be as good at getting what they want as they used to be. I’m not sure that in the long term Palestine can be kept stateless and subjugated.
