That's my political view also. This is why I support anti-corruption free market capitalism, the system with most proven track record for getting us closer to that goal.
I fully admit that the anti-corruption part of the ideology is the unfortunate hard thing that needs the most work, and countries like USA have been pretty bad at doing that part.
Funny thing is that in a perfect ideal society, communism and capitalism both result in maximum equality and ultimate prosperity.
Yeah, it would be kind of weird to design a system whose perfect implementation would result in bad outcomes. So the question is, which system more likely reaches that perfection?
They both require perfectly infallible people to reach perfection, so that's 0% for either.
I mean they cannot be equally bad, can they?
They both require the same fantasy to work. They just come to that fantasy from different directions.
The "free market" is inherently corrupt. Its natural conclusion is a single almighty corporation that owns everything. That's why regulation is necessary to rein it in.
Yeah, regulation seems to be one way to maintain the anti-corruption qualities.
