      Let me tell you what happened here some time ago.
      After the government seized the means of production to people they gave each worker a share in the company.
      On that same day the workers sold it or lost it, bought vodka or cigarettes for the few pennies they made. Not much was left in the original hands. Someone bought the majority.

      The ideal economic system works perfect under perfect conditions. Capitalism works ok under most of conditions.

      Evolution of economic systems is not a history of choosing the perfect one but elimination of these that failed.

              It was an idea that evolved over the years.
              There’s plenty of failed ideas. Maybe capitalism is another one that will be replaced by something better. Only time will tell. It will be exciting if a replacement happens in my lifetime. Bad systems die so no worries but what constitutes a bad system also depends on available resources.

      Those people barely can avoid trump reign and majority don’t think climate change is real and you think they will be able to handle managing the collective economy? You are very optimistic for a doomer you know.
      We barely qualify for representative democracy and you want to make economy into a direct democracy. That’s very cute, no offense.

          I am gonna make a screenshot because this is super funny. Do you have more of that lingo? It feels like I was transported back in time to people’s republic. It’s super memeable here.
