China is banning ‘wealth-flaunting’ behavior on social media
  • Social programs and social welfare aren't really balancing socialism with capitalism, the means of production is fully owned by capitalists and there is no democratization of it. Sure we have some coops but the vast majority of workplaces are dictatorships

  • China is banning ‘wealth-flaunting’ behavior on social media
  • The only way in which communism is inherently authoritarian is in that wealth must be forcibly taken from capitalists and landowners in order to help the masses.

    Equating communism with authoritarianism, but not doing the same with capitalism, a system in which the owning class oppresses (to the point of homelessness and starvation) the working class, is simply ignorant.

    There is oppression under this system as well, there are private prisons that lead directly to incarceration, there is gross inequality, there is global injustice (forced extraction of wealth and natural resources from foreign lands), there is climate injustice in which a tiny minority of the population is directly causing harm, suffering, and an increasing amount of climate refugees (to which they deny entry after making their homes unlivable).

    but yes an economic system that puts the needs of the many above the lavish lifestyles of the few and which prefers cooperation to competition is inherently authoritarian and this one isn't. How many terrible capitalist countries can you name?

    Capitalism only works in theory.

  • Capitalism only works in theory in practice it's all homeless encampments, people going hungry, wealth inequality, gender inequality, race inequality, global inequality, climate disaster, war.

    Capitalism has never worked

  • Google criticized as AI Overview makes obvious errors, such as saying former President Obama is Muslim
  • A system doesn't need people to get together and collude in order to manifest certain behaviors. The market is regulated either by legislation or by people's actions. I'm wondering why pro-capitalists have no intention to regulate this or change their behaviors.

  • I don't get why even capitalists are ok with the economy being so focused on investor hype. Whatever happened to companies making profit by providing valuable goods and services? We don't even factor the consumer in anymore, it's all just executives trying to woo investors no matter what it does to the product or service quality being offered.

    I'm a socialist, but you'd think there'd be some capitalism advocates that are anti stock market at this point.

  • The PC games market grew a lot more than the console games market last year, says research firm
  • Nobody cares what investors think, games are an artform and the PC market is most accessible to small creators. Yeah investors care about the things you say and so we might not get "action game with rpg mechanics and crafting 14 battle pass edition" on PC until they milk console sales, but there's plenty of amazing content that's PC first
