“That’s all well and good, but what about one of the worst examples of it?”
You are never going to understand their point because you seem to have no desire to actually take any of this conversation seriously.
Capitalism was literally designed to continue the powers of a monarchy when it was obvious that people were revolting and that’s literally in the texts, it’s history. Much more regulated and “people first” societies exist, largely in Europe, and they thrive but you’re ignoring, that, too.
I’m sorry but I’ve tried the opposite. I feel that I replied with honesty, while your reply sounds like something you have already premade in your head. Name those European societies, I only see a bit less corruption (or just a bit more effort in hiding it), and also see a lot of “one rule fits all”. I’ve just been to Sweden and Norway, and different types of citizens have different types of complaints about it, and in no way shape or form they live sustainably. They also have a lot of issues regarding incorporating all the immigrants into their society. Where is this “socialist haven” you are talking about?
Norway. Finland. Iceland. Sweden. Portugal. Spain. France. Germany. etc.
