Basically very similar to capitalism, but they would probably have a better quality of life overall.

Didn't know Marxism = CCP.

Are you rich? Because if not, you are not only awful but an idiot as well.

Anybody who says 'just as bad' in reference to this conversation is just brainwashed.

Capitalism is just shit, but lots of people have been brainwashed through conditioning their entire lives, and it takes some intelligence to actually reflect on your beliefs. Plus, companies/governments have monopolies on violence/force that they use to suppress 'undesirables.' America kept invading places because they were afraid an alternative, better economy could work (actually confirmed by CIA). Yet so many people conveniently ignore this or act like it is unrelated to the matter. It's just a lack of education + culture of ignorance/conformism that lets this shit continue uncontested.

This also ignores the fact many businesses will handshake each other and do the minimum possible, therefore making any 'competition' minimal. Corporate interests will never align with what is best for humanity.

I still try to debate it, but so many people prefer to be ignorant and avoid having to face anything about their beliefs. It's funny when people like free education and free healthcare (in UK), yet cry about benefit scroungers, all the meanwhile large corpos get hand outs to avoid them failing. It honestly hurts.

There are solutions. But no fast ones without violence, and no long ones that won't come too late.

Communism and empathy for other creatures (humans included.)

It's peak cognitive dissonance that most people struggle with due to years of social conditioning and lobbying. You can't even publish the shit in the news any more. Add to the fact a lot of people just don't think about shit at all, and it is a reality most people don't want to see when confronted. Frustrating to say the least.

Basically, it only works if you can keep greedy people from expressing their greed. Evidently, not happening right now.

But it's different when a monopoly/oligopoly does it! Surely... The difference here really is that there is no incentive to decide more coal miners are required, whereas our shitty version of capitalism absolutely pushes for companies to fuck over competitors any way possible. It makes it near impossible for small businesses to stand up to established ones with all the resources.
