All types of government will have some form of corruption, but I’m not sure how a “free market” ran by people who follow the philosophy that companies only have the responsibility to answer to shareholders will generate wealth for “many.” Unless you’re advocating for trickle down pissonomics?
Memes
Rules:
- Be civil and nice.
- Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
I thought left also meant protection against unregulated markets? Without regulations it is just going to be capitalismplusplus.
All great social media does. The secret is that reality favors the progressive left
"Uncorrupt government"
This is as delusional as anyone can get.
A wise man said it all once: "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Good, we could use it more left though
Quick, genuine question because I don't know: What does the "ml" in memes@lemmy.ml stand for? I thought it was for Marxist-Leninist but I'm actually not sure about that
I just really dislike the whole left/right tribalism. Politics is a lot more complex than left/right and just marking someone as either just increases polarisation...
I wish it was just "towards the left".
I'm very much on the left socially and left of center economically, but even I feel like every other comments section on here reads like some insane tankie commune.
