Less so under universal healthcare
Way to go Canada...
Are we done here?
What do you disagree with?
I dont feel that youre honestly trying
What should I try to do exactly?
Take the government's corrupt side?
If corruption is the root of all evil, government is the world's most evil tree of slavery.
I think besides low income tax credits and universal healthcare, you will find plenty of examples where the government has helped the poor, even if it has sometimes helped some rich people.
Again, not solely or directly.
Decisions can be made to help all groups in society, and thats what progress entails
Who makes those decisions?
Depends on thw system of governance
How can we make any form of progress if the solution to wealth inequality and rule by the wealthy are determined by the people who are the problem?
In the US its a rep democracy, tho strongly pro corporte
We are not a democracy.
We are a constitutional republic.
Well, it kind of is but not really
The thing is
You can vote for people who will help you
We became corrupted and then somehow magically switched to democracy...which is actually corporate fascism in disguise.
Its not a permanent solution, eventually the system needs to change
But lets not pretend it doesnt result in some measure of progress
The system will only change if there is one swift and absolute alteration.
I disagree
We've tried it your way, it's failed methodically and intentionally.
Maybe it would change, but not necessarily in a good way
Revolution is my answer, base income is the solution.
Base income doesnt even fix the problem
It would.
Watch some richard wolff
People would not be forced to bend to the will of corporations.
That assumes people get enough UBI
They would have what they need to pursue what they want.
Capitalist will just increase prices with basic income.
Then a revolution would happen.
Fannybandit you're a really dogmatic person
Greed cannot dictate the lives of the people.
Youre absolutely convinced
Almost religiously
Of your opinions
