    social democracy is not good enough because it does not end imperialism, and it just exports the worst portions of capitalism to other places. Additionally, as long as workers are exploited in any capacity, the people doing the exploiting will hold the most power in society and the benefits of living in a social democracy will slowly erode.

    Capitalism has never succeeded

    Going to be honest, I'm not actually asking this to s*** on Socialism

    But this is usually the question I get whenever I told niggas I was a Bernie Supporter, cause the right loves to use the "socialism never worked" argument as an immediate slam dunk, even tho none of these guys are actual socialists

    I've never seen a legit answer that wasn't a deflection.

    It's what I always dreamed of.

    Unfortunately I was born during the collapse and not after.

    also if all the jobs are automated and no one is employed, how tf do you have people spending in a consumer based economy like in the Anglosphere without workplace democracy?

    Ehh, everybody still has wants and you can always strive for something better

    I agree but there will be tons of people who are just contempt. It'd be an interesting thing tho. I think part of the reason people have so much stress is for basic needs. It's like a double edged sword.
