I’ll get hate here (this instance/community) but I don’t give a fuck.

There’s more than one way to skin a cat. I don’t care if it’s welfare capitalism, UBI, socialism or fucking whatever. SOMEONE needs to do SOMETHING to give people that work less profitable/high class/whatever jobs a decent humane life.

Everyone’s work is important, otherwise it wouldn’t be done. And they deserve to live a decent life.

Does that mean they go on intercontiental holidays to 5 star hotels? No. Does that mean they can afford food, heat, shelter and the ability to start a family? Yes.

Basically we encompass everything as black/white socialism/capitalism

When pretty much every country (including the United States currently ) implements both.

And the problem is by demonizing socialism as the main economic structure, politicians basically succeeded in shaming people for any socialist policy they disagree with.

It may be possible that socialism and capitalism are just economic tools that can applied to different sectors of the economy depending on which works best in a given context.

But sure, let’s all form up into groups that either think only socialism works or only capitalism works and try to misapply these to sectors of the economy where they’ve already been proven not to work. That makes sense!

It’s like one group deciding that hammers are better than screwdrivers and trying to beat a screw into something with a hammer. Then the other group decides screwdrivers are better than hammers and are trying to use a screwdriver to hammer in nails. They’ll both kinda work for everything, but for anyone that’s not caught up in the argument it all seems kind of silly. Why not just use the screwdriver for the screws and use the hammer for the nails?

Or right, because of ideology.
