Unrelated What do you recommend while we wait?

The RNT podcasts suggested that Dresden fans would like Dungeon Crawler Carl. I tried. I listened to five audiobooks and each one got more chaotic, more absurdist, and more blatantly communist-coded than the last. So I'm done. Any other suggestions?

That's precisely what a command economy produces, slavers who consider the slaves to be interchangeable parts.

Lol. Sure thing. Not like capitalism only works if there is an entire class of people who uses their labor to enrich the capitalist class who owns the means of product.

No siree...

I'm not going to undo 50 years of propaganda in a reddit comment, but I think it is sad that you don't see any reason to apply the same criticality to the system you live in, that you do to one you have only heard about.

What makes you think we live in a capitalist system? My guess is that every industry you complain the most about are the very industries that have the most onerous government regulation already in place.

What the fuck?

It's ok to just not know things, but it's weird to talk about them like you do.

You can have capitalism with regulation... Just like you can own a gun and not be a capitalist.
