uneral & Burial Costs
While they’re the last stop in terms of end-of-life expenses, funeral and burial costs may not be the least of your worries. The National Funeral Director’s Association estimates median funeral costs, such as viewing services and cremation, hover at $7,360. While cremation is generally less expensive than burial, the Consumer Price Index indicates that over the last thirty years, all funeral expenses have risen more than 200%.

Being corrupt in the private sector in Japan would bring great shame to your famiry

The whole funeral industry is a load of horseshit

Latinx
viva la raza is literally 'live the race'

I don't really regard cooperatives as socialism. They're voluntary and individual based, thus private. Socialism requires the forceful redistribution of property titles. If Socialists want to keep to their own, and LARP in their shitty communes, that's okay, just don't try to take other people's shit, or deny workers the right to enter contracts.
noooooooooooooooooooooo
the reality is that large scale social structures support small scale social structures which may not be possible without the material conditions created by the former
i mean in favor
this goes for ancap arguments as well, not just socialism
when people say 'the market does x' etc. - it does it in particular context
True. Slab city isn't evidence that Anarchism could work on any large scale. Rojava isn't even Anarchist, and Revolutionary Catalonia was definitely not Anarchist.
however you don't necessarily have to be completely focused on the large scale
you could set your goals smaller
ppl are flawed , ppl being flawed means you must rule them with an iron fist to be good
Land owners being slaughtered, everyone being payed the same, unions controlling everything. The union bosses became shittier capitalists.
I wouldn't phrase it like that, SEEJ
I would say -
people will always have rulers
they can be benevolent or malevolent, interested or disinterested
The Republic of China recruited over 40 million troops into a volunteer army. That sounds like a government worth defending.

Exactly what Confucius envisioned. A government that represented its people, to the point that many were willing to die for it, even when not conscripted.
