• Our current system is also going to consume itself and the entire planet in a couple generations. So sure, QOL for the select few who live in the Imperial core have increased massively. But it’s completely unsustainable.

      Given that your account is 6 days old, and you’re just stirring up an argument by being deliberately obtuse and engaging in bad faith, I’m going to assume you’re a ban evasion account and you already know perfectly well that OP is a communist (and so are most of the people replying to you) but you’ve just decided to go about this conversation in the most annoying way possible.

            The “not open to debate” part is what gets me. Dude, if you brought me something I hadn’t heard before, I’d have a much more charitable conversation. But as they’re talking right now it’s just an array of thought terminating cliches that I used to hear repeatedly on reddit and when talking with older family members.

      Correlation != Causation

      As others have pointed out we have better lives today because of scientific and technological progress not because of capitalism.
