Completely irrelevant to what I wrote. My comment has nothing to do with socialism.

Not to mention fallaciously attributing technological innovations to capitalism as if they could not occur under other economic systems.

So in your fantasy world we would be at 8.5 billion people along with low poverty, hunger, and deaths from war... but replacing capitalism with socialism.

Likely you fantasize no income and instead it would be the whole "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" thing, right?

Unfortunately for your fantasy... the result of socialism has always been the deaths of millions of people through starvation and murder (followed by collapse and/or acceptance of capitalism)

Are you confusing socialism with communism again? And are you confusing authoritarian dictatorships with communism?

[–] i_understand@mastodon.social -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have never confused socialism with communism.

Although Marx did call socialism "lesser communism".
