The irrational way of ressource allocation and oganization of production inherent in capitalism leads to wasted economic potential in pursuit of personal gain and profits, instead of democratizing the workplace, improving living standards and reducing work hours. We waste the potential found in automation on producing mostly useless things that are designed to break in a few years, while also threatening the job security of countless of working people instead of shortening the work week with same or increased pay.
Who can look back from 20th century to now and say "i want some of that"
Probably most people, that had to live in poverty, through wars, and without advanced medicine and other tech?
Literally living through war that tankies cheer for. With everything I managed to take with myself was a couple of hard drives and a spare clothes.
If anything that experience would make anyone want less government and their planning.
And what "advanced medicine and tech" are you talking about? That's the things capitalist countries developed first (for the most part)
You're delusional if you want back the system that most people who lived under it hate!
I have had the "pleasure" to be born into one of those dystopian systems of govt. You are getting your information from the wrong places comrade
My comment seems to be written unclearly, or I misunderstood the parent comment... Anyway I'm against communism.
