It's not an either/or situation, there are more alternatives available.

Name them, Captain Smug. Tell us about whatever quaint Northern European social democratic paradise that you got excited about after reading about it on Reddit, that compartmentalizes and outsources all the suffering you don't want to know about.

I refuse to believe that someone who calls me 'captain smug' is seriously interested in my opinion.

Fair enough, so without any name calling, please name some of those alternatives you mentioned.

EDIT: you commented continously for 11 further hours after this post, without answering anyone in this thread, so i would safely assume you deserve all the name calling and more.

you can either have private jackasses own everything like petty kings of their little financial fiefdoms, or you can have capital be socially owned and operated without the explicit need for next quarter profit seeking, those are your fucking choices you nerd
