The system is working exactly as intended and must be destroyed

"I never experienced another system and suddenly realize that the current system isn't perfect. My solution: let's tear everything down"

-- every teenager who just started to understand the world

Yeah also don't understand that any system involving humans is never going to be perfect because people will find a way to screw it up. That doesn't mean you give up on improving it of course, more the opposite. Every system will constantly require effort to improve or it will degrade over time.
There is no such thing as a perfect system, but that means there will always be ways to improve the existing system, no matter what the existing system is. The "tear it down and start over" mentality makes people useless in efforts to actually make things better. Perfect is the enemy of good.
- Not just that but there is no "THE system" it's more of a stew made out of dozens of systems working around and with each other. You can't just throw out the stew and start over because it's already got all of us and everything in it. I don't want to go too far with that metaphor but you get the idea.
"The boy was sanctimonious as only youth can be when descrying the faults of their elders."
I read that once and always loved that quote.
- Don't get me wrong: I think nothing is more healthy for a society than a rebelling youth and all the "trouble" that comes with it. We've all been there.
  But in times were edgy elders vote for Trump and carry no vision, morale or understanding besides mere platitudes like "tearing down everything", "draining the swamp", "building a wall" etc., all those calls for radical destruction without offering an alternative annoy the shit out of me.
I never experienced another system and have come to the gradual realisation that the current system is inherently exploitative, values some people above others, and leaves very little hope for a future as it continues to render the planet's surface less habitable by the year. My solution: let's tear the system down before it tears all of us down with it.
FTFY.
- My solution: let's tear the system down before it tears all of us down with it.
  "...without having any clue about what comes next, blindly hoping that it will rule out injustice and inherent exploitation although there is no precedence or vision by anyone."
  This is not a fix. It's calling to kill the complete herd for a few sick animals while others take enormous efforts to find a cure.
- you've never experienced another, vastly superior system (like, for example, Germany)
  ??? Germany is not another system, it's just capitalism with some touches of socialism
- any suggestions
  I must have missed something. I just read a suggestion to destroy everything in a mediocre anime meme.
  This sounds like trying to burn down the school when you got a bad grade but when you're caught and called to the principal's office, you claim to be the victim of a coldhearted and overgeneralizing grade system.
  Also, no one even mentioned the US.
"I'm such a douchebag entitled narcissist so I'm going to plug my ears and go 'na na na this is fine' as the system destroys EVERY GODDAMN FUCKING FACET of society and whatever future these 'teenagers' may have. BUT IT'S THE TEENAGERS THAT ARE TO BLAME, RIGHT?"
Get off your fucking high horse. Jesus fucking christ dude.
- You know, the post that you're responding to could just be highlighting a parallel rather than being a criticism of the OP.
- and go 'na na na this is fine'
  that's not what I wrote and you suggesting it tells a lot about how you look at the world and people around you.
  Keep on memeing, dude. You'll surely make the world a better place...
- Gonna cry?

Destroyed and replaced by?

People fail to realize that socialism isn't just an ideology but a process. It involves looking back at previous attempts and learning from their mistakes and improving.
- Is every ideology also a process where people learn from their past attempts at achieving the ideology?
- Hey, you cut it out with that education! How are people supposed to falsly believe that socialism is China or Russia or Vuvuzela if you go around explaining how it's not?
- That’s what capitalism is for😎
- Sounds like fixing to me
- The fun part is that you're on lemmy and I'm surprised no one has called you a conservative yet. This is because all of your ideas involve keeping the current system, and many people around here specifically want full socialism, Marxism, what have you
- Hold up I asked what political sistem would replace it. Lol not what changes we want no matter the system you are on
Another failed system
Versus doing nothing? Lemmy is fucking ass lately, shitting all over hyperbole while rolling over and letting capitalism and pessimism run your sorry, sad fucking lives.
I will ask the questions, comrade
Let's iterate!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialdemocracy
- Which is a fix, not possible to implement in the chaos after a revolution, and not remotely a replacement.
- It definitely is just reforming capitalism tho. If you want it in America you don't have to overthrow any government, just vote them out of the white house
Nothing.
Well, nothing where a human is in charge. I'd rather let Bing AI take the wheel. AI isn't greedy or ambitious for one so no need to go full totalitarian like every single revolution.
- AI isn't greedy
  yet. I heard AIs are trained with data from humans who are... whoops!
Worker ownership over the means of production
(Not a huge fan of centralized planning since that tends to lead to authoritarianism)

aka building dual power

This is the kind of stupidity that let's those Jan 6th criminals justify their treason.

Same terrible message, aimed at a different audience. But ultimately the same shit.

The fun part about memes like this is that they could be posted by anyone, anywhere on the political spectrum. The only hint at intent is in the title or community
- The image kind of hints at the audience.

Punchline title.

Good meme tho.

It's a glass-half-full, glass-half-empty situation. Both viewpoints are correct. The question is: which is easier? Fixing a broken system or destroying the system and creating a new one?

Raze everything to the ground and start new.
- Usually the result of that is something just as bad or even worse.

No, thanks, I actually benefit quite a bit from the current system.

The systems not broken it was built this way.

That's the whole fucking joke, bruv
- redditors..

...if you have a way to put a new, better system in place to replace the old one.

Historically, has that ever happened?
If I'm not mistaken, the usual cycle seems to be dismantling an existing system due to grievances unaddressed, seeking a consolidation of power, or other political machinations, attempts at forming & establishing new systems for a period of time, until eventually some system emerges that manages to survive for some time but its persistence is not assured.

Oh tankies...

- No, but proposing to destroy a system in which you are presumably living relatively comfortably, in exchange for something else is some extremely privileged bullshit to say. E.g. go tell that to the people in Niger.

At least in the US is proveably isn't working as intended. Section 1983 of the federal code was illegally modified in 1874 by one person that had no authority to do so. That revision is what "decided" Harlow V Fitzgerald in 1982. That case should have found that the 1871 Congress had outlawed any immunity from prosecution for civil servants of any kind.

This is also similar to how "corporate personhood" became a legal fictive, yet legal precedent.

The system isn't working as intended at all, and the consequences of those two minor "revisions" has allowed the rich to buy the government.

Precisely

I dont like the whole egg thing and thats were im leaving that at. Otherwise, spot on. Downvotes to the rigth.

More than welcome to go to another system. None of witch works. US system is not perfect, but its the best

- Easy on the racism pal.
Yeah, don't seek to improve anything. I wouldn't trade ours for that of Cambodia, but I'd sure as shit trade it for Denmark. We could strive to implement better processes in our system. First thing is to admit that there's a problem.
Oh I love going bankrupt because I got ill. The US system is broken and needs to be fixed/revamped. It is by far not the best.
I'm an advocate for fixing it so much it looks completely different, effectively destroying it.
I had to pay a $3000 hospital bill last year for surgery that I waited two years to get and it didn't even work. And I have what is considered good insurance.
The system is fucking broken.
- Oh... Poor guy, lives in one of the richest countries of the world and has one of the best healthcare systems ever. Poor guy had to pay money :(, paying money = bad! Paying more of that money in taxes even yiu never use the system to have "free" care = good!
The best at what?
Keeping it citizens fat and happy while an elite few rape it's wealth and resources?
The best at papering over the massive problems that pervade its society at every level?
The best at mass shootings?
The best at electing possibly genuinely retarded people to political office (tens of millions of americans voted for donald trump, even after 4 years of him being clinically unhinged and extremely stupid)?
The best at having an average reading age of 9?
- "Fat and happy" :)
"The best" in what category??
If you learn how to read charts and graphs, you can look up worldwide happiness indexes and where the US is in education and freedom and all those things. They are all written down for you. Intelligent people have already done the research and had a peer reviewed. All that you have to do is learn how to understand it.
- "Intelligent people make graphs" lol, no people with time do. Dont need to be "Intelligent" to make that investigation
