Capitalism is very good at protecting itself.

Join a union and vote radical left.

vote radical left.

If people voted based on issues instead of party loyalty...the US would be a completely different country.

People should vote in their genuine best self interest, which is working class in 99% of all cases and they would have been best served with a mostly socialist party. So I guess i agree that party loyalty isn't great.

party loyalty is great, you should always make sure your party hasn't magically become a different party since the last time you voted.

imagine if social democrats could stop fucking turning themselves into neolibs, even the socialists here in sweden seem to be threatening to ease off the leftism

Thats ehy party loyalty sucks ass. Just look at the last 5 yrs of a party to make your voting decision. Who did what and why? Its not hard.

It’s especially good at protecting itself from literally zero threats.

Let’s not pretend Americans are putting up any kind of fight at all.

Right, because capitalism has conditioned us to be complacent.

That just hit the nail on the head so hard it caught fire!

Which other system was not good at that?

Every other system. Capitalism is far more adaptable, which is not a good sign btw. Because if a system fails to provide for its citizens it should make way for others.

In terms of providing, others were better.
