      Feeling a bit more like a religion. I wish someone would do a check of how much text is typed per comment in these threads. It’s a level of extreme obsessive behavior you typically see with Facebook evangelical Americans.

        Obsession is when you consume and share information that takes up more time to process than a tiktok reel

        God help you when you discover books

        Corruption is not a system issue, it is a human issue.

        Some systems can be less vulnerable than others, but to just throw “communism” as a solution is just as stupid as throwing “free market” as a solution.

        “The free market will make it impossible to maintain profit if it goes against the peoples’ interests!”

        You are doing the same thing but with communism.

          So it is a system issue

          The difference is that proletarian democracies address these issues collectively instead of rewarding private individuals and companies for their corruption. No one is saying corruption will disappear overnight if we press the communism button, that’s not how it works, but if we stop rewarding corruption and we start imprisoning people instead of fining them and we restructure how elections work then we’re already addressing the biggest systemic flaws that make corruption this rampant.
