#capitalism, in the meaning of the #rightOfOwnership, but neither in the meaning of “the free market is (always) right,” nor “#neoliberalism,” (=Grasshopper Economics,) is necessary for #democracy.

Therefore, I'm a #socialist, not a #communist

...IMO things could only end the way things ended: accelarating #GlobalWarming and mass extinction-level events (#ELE's).
#BigOil and their decades of lies and lobbyism, @MichaelBlume calls this #Fossilism, are at the very epicenter of this progressing #CivilizationImplosion.

If you (re-read) the implicitly linked thread about #Buchanan, I'm not the only one that thinks that way. (You probably, too ;))

Thanks for the link on #Argentina. I'll...

This is not TikTok ;) - anything goes.

#Friedman and #Hayek oh, no!

I've have got the (unverified) hypothesis that neoliberalism, apart from being responsible for the MAGA rebellion in the US that made Trumpism mainstream, it is a or even the root-cause of the turbocapitalism that enabled #BigOil to comid ecocide.

All resources on Earth being limited, and the economic paradigm being "growth...,"

..."...the Virginia school, as Buchanan’s brand of economic and political thinking is known, is a kind of cousin to the better-known, market-oriented #Chicago and #AustrianSchool|s — proponents of all three were members of the #MontPelerinSociety, 👉an international #neoliberal organization which included #MiltonFriedman and #FriedrichHayek." 👈

You are quite right in your assesment, Mina, though you focus on the 1 of 3 #neoliberal
strands that is the pillar of #Reagonomics and #Trumpism, #Buchanam's #VirginiaSchool:

"...unlike even the most property-friendly founders #AlexanderHamilton and #JamesMadison, 👉#Buchanan wanted a private governing elite of corporate power that was wholly released from public accountability.👈" 1)

Was ich bei Kapitalismuskritik oft höre, ist:
„Aber Kommunismus/Sozialismus hat noch nie funktioniert.“
Das kontere ich immer mit einem ganz simplen Beispiel:

Glaubst du daran, dass KI in naher Zukunft viele Jobs überflüssig machen wird?
Glaubst du, dass humanoide Roboter immer besser und dazu noch günstiger als menschliche Arbeitskraft werden?

In welcher Gesellschaft willst du dann leben?
In einer, in der "jeder seines Glückes Schmied" ist und man sich im Niedriglohnsektor gegenseitig unterbietet, nur um überleben zu können?
Das reicht meistens schon aus, um die Menschen zu überzeugen.
