Ive found alternativeto.net pretty useful.

Capitalism encourages narcissism. It strives on it. Corporations themselves are narcissistic entities. A system not built on individualism and greed would help.

What id call modern democratic socialism makes use of cooperative economics. Both state run and stateless socialism (cooperatives) have already proven just, fair, equitable, sustainable, innovative …

I had a teacher in high school ask me to bring him a deer if I ever hit one on my way to school.

They told me it was a cool place to hang out during the collapse of late stage capitalism and the slow apocalyptic race to the bottom.

Do you think Pokémon battles should be illegal, Ash?

No, of course not

We provide work for every town. Joy would be out of her nursing job if not for us.

There’s an Epstein email about Donny sucking off someone going by Bubba. People are speculating this is Bill Clinton because he’s gone by that name, but its also a nickname given initially by a small child that can’t yet properly pronounce the word brother.

The capitalist apparatus requires emmense effort to maintain. Military, police, propaganda, bailouts,… Its not self sustaining and its not natural. For comparison, cooperative, democratically controlled workplaces, have greater survival rates than their conventional, privately owned firms. Not to mention workers or more likely paid a living wage, have greater job stability and satisfaction, and just as likely, if not more so to lead to innovation. Its literally proven a better economic system, but yet some still think it offers empty promises.

More like every time there’s been democratically elected socialists or communists, western powers intervene with staged coups, assassinations, or embargos.

A spicy cilantro sauce could be interesting. There’s a spot in the bay that does this for white pizza.

Personally when I say I want to ditch capitalism, the first thing I think of, among many, is simply about democratizing the workplace. Cooperatives have proven themselves to be superior than the current private model in a variety of metrics. If we reduce the defining characteristic of capitalism as needing capital to produce more capital, the current issue is that cooperative enterprises struggle to obtain the initial capital necessary to get started. Even though they have much greater success rates, banks have historically refused to give loans to these endeavers. There exists non profits to try and fill this void but its not enough.

This is the answer, folks. I learned from an old 3 star michelin star chef, and chefs all have anger issues.

Nonviolent resistance movements are more likely to facilitate transitions from autocracy to democracy, improve democratic qualities like civil liberties, transform security forces and judicial systems in rights-respecting directions, and enhance well-being measures such as life expectancy.

The commonly held belief that most revolutions that have happened in dictatorial regimes were bloody or violent uprisings is not borne out by historical analysis.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonviolent_revolution

Empirical evidence strongly favors strategic, organized nonviolent resistance as the most effective path to sustainable political change.

Political assassinations are a tool of desperation. They’re effective at creating instability and further violence; counterproductive for achieving lasting political goals. They fail to eliminate the ideas, movements, and structures that person represented.

There’s a Wikipedia page on nonviolent revolutions, so is violence itself necessary or is the threat of violence sufficient? History may not actually be in complete agreement in favor of violent resistance.

“Nonviolent campaigns have a 53% success rate and only about a 20% rate of complete failure. Things are reversed for violent campaigns, which were only successful 23% of the time, and complete failures about 60% of the time. Violent campaigns succeeded partially in about 10% of cases, again comparing unfavorably to nonviolent campaigns, which resulted in partial successes over 20% of the time.”

You’re right, the problem is more than the cutoff, its that medical insurance is tied to employment. Say someone loses their job due to no fault of their own; company is downsizing, work is automated, the CEO buys into the AI hype to replace workers, or theres unforseen funding cuts to the organization. Then you’re out of a job and don’t have health insurance. Maybe your entire industry isn’t hiring anymore, and the local coffee shop that’s hiring doesn’t offer any benefits. Of course, they won’t hire you anyways because why would they want someone with an advanced degree when they expect you’ll just leave as soon as you find something better. Or you need 3 years prior experience as a barista before being considered.

Can’t forget the elephants down there propping everything up

Oh I figured. I just thought it was funny. The way you worded that like you don’t wear clothes anymore. I imagined someone driving to work everyday, ass to leather seats, and setting up the taco stand on the local nudist beach or something.

What do you do now that you don’t need clothes, Dave?

Usually its not so obvious if his tweets are real or not. Happy to see he’s finally come out of the closet.
