>literally horseshoe theory
yikes
But we're talking about the economic spectrum and I just realized what I said doesn't apply
like do you believe in the totalitarian category?
Everything has the potential to work in theory. It just doesn't because of basic human nature.
I'm mainly on the left because it appeals to my personal sensibilities.
why do you think that socialism isn't compatible with human nature?
>human nature
>horseshoe theory
human nature is a creation
we *are* human nature
human nature is when an imperialist bleed 😛
Socialism is as compatible as any other economic/governmental system
Somewhat but not as much as staunch advocates would believe
thats the thing tho
socialism is the only compatible because it doesn't kill innocents and doesn't steal your labour
human nature isn't some fixed monolith
You're right. I'm speaking in generalities.
but you said socialism doesn't work because it isnt compatible with human nature
if human nature is malleable, we can change it. if we can change it to fit a more just society, we should
Human nature is malleable, sure but it's not a reed in the wind.
certainly
Some aspects are incredibly difficult to fight because they're on an instinctual level.
we still should
people have bad conditions->people want revolution->people have better conditions in socialism
justice > instinct
appeal to nature is ultimately a fallacy, especially when it concerns humans
People don't necessarily have better conditions in socialist societies.
Humans have a tendency to pervert and corrupt.
soviet union underwent a rapid economic growth, cuba rose standards of living, china did as well
Just look at Venezuela.
oh no
I'm not saying that it's socialism by any means
But that's what they're calling it
venezuela is in a capitalist context and it keeps a capitalist economy, with just a few nationalizations
in venezuela the workers don't own the means of production, the state owns the oil
it's XXI century socialism, radical social democracy
Exactly. A perverted system.
