Is that what you think the massively rich and giant corporations are doing, "self preservation"??
I'm not "okay" with the unhoused and killing innocent people issues (and I think most aren't), but the system of unchecked greed, outsized political influence, and limitless quarterly growth is what ignores and preys upon these desperate people...
I am saying that any system will have “unchecked greed, outsized political influence, and limitless quarterly [metric of system quality]. Maybe it won’t have “massive corporations”, but small committees, but the fundamental issue of self preservation will remain, and that’s how you get corruption. Why do you think it was easy to overthrow or cause turmoil in non-capitalists countries? Practically the U.S. and similar countries would benefit from using a European model of social welfare. We need ways to talk about such things and come up with ways to address them, and not pretend that some ideologies are immune to systemic problems caused by human fragility 💩
