Capitalism doesn't even work on paper or demonstrably in reality.
Oh it works. Just not for the vast majority of people.
Not even then. Even if you look at the billionaires in their doomsday bunkers, their food supply will break down as well at some point after the rest of humanity succumbs to the climate crisis or the ongoing mass extinction event. It is impossible to decouple themselves from the fate of the working class, and the design of their lives is a delusion. Capitalism, no matter how you attempt to modify, reduce, or extend it, is inherently unsustainable in the long run
Sam Bankman Fried wants to buy Nauru to set it up as a doomsday island for his buddies. Not very smart seeing as how it’s probably gonna get hit VERY hard by Climate Change
Are you sure he’s not just building an underwater bunker to escape the feds?
Good one
"They talk about the failures of socialism, well where is the success of capitalism in Asia, Africa, and Latin America?"
Capitalism works. It just works for the rich and not the average person. It wasn’t designed to work for the average person
