    we can have all the "good" things we claim to want from other economic systems within capitalism. It just requires voting for politicians that do their job to progress laws forward instead of dragging their feet.

      What? I love spending my day going to meetings where I’m quizzed about things that won’t matter next week and writing Jira tickets.

        it's good that you think this way, after all, happier slaves are more productive.

          Problem is, instead of someone actively leading for something better for all, we are stomped under a boot, gaslighted, then told the problem is resources/poor people

            Ya, totally. You make an obvious point.
            The only problem with that is that almost all of the humans that have ever existed ... exist right now. Until we mastered this planet, there were very very few of us. We are now the most numerous mammal on the planet, and that's by a far degree. There's more of us than there are rats.

            This is wildly untrue. The recent estimation of how many humans have existed is around 100 billion. Half of the total population of humans ever to exist was before the year 0, with the other half since then.

              Whoever you vote for will be bribed lobbied until they don't represent you anymore, assuming they weren't already compromised before even entering office.

                  If you were able to answer that question, I think you would solve one of the eternal mysteries of humanity. We seem unable to escape the patterns that we keep repeating millennia after millennia.

                    It is multi-faceted, significantly genetic, and dependent on, well, those in-charge teaching new humans pro-social ethics, which is not happening.

                      If I accepted that to be true, then no one can lead the country and its cooked. There are plenty of capitalist economies with low corruption.
