What would another global economic system even look like? Can it even be something else?

[-] Belgdore@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

That is the real question. Communism is the main competition. We could try something in between like syndicalism, or some other version of socialism. But everything is theory because we’ve never tried a different system.

Communism could only work if everyone, seemingly under some hypnosis, all decided to discard wealth and possession and status and everything, all at once.

If any meaningful fraction of the population retains capitalism, the influence of personal gain would override, as it has in the past.

  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
