The landlord had told them he wanted to raise the rent to $3,500 and when they complained he decided to raise it to $9,500.

β€œWe know that our building is not rent controlled and this was something we were always worried about happening and there is no way we can afford $9,500 per month," Yumna Farooq said.

So, this is a testy thread, but if you have a specific idea of what you do want I'm very interested. Capitalism is a weird solution but other than old-school communism (which was honestly a series of kludges masquerading as a solution) I've yet to hear another solution described in detail.

You should examine the social and economic structures of the Anarchist governed areas in Ukraine and Spain during their respective civil wars.

It wasn't a given that Socialist movements should be Authoritarian. Lenin bears most of the blame for that (the bastard); Marx some.

I actually have looked into that. From what I can tell they never really had a well-defined economic structure, since building up the economy bigger isn't a consideration when fighting for your existence, and used a market system for basic purchases of supplies. Modern Rojava is the same way.

The Republicans were pretty close to winning from what I've heard, and if I could see parallel universes what they would have settled on after a victory would be one of the first few things I'd be interested in.

Sure, they used mixed economics.

The main point is that used mainly collectivist economics, and did so without establishing authoritarian societies.
