I know there's a lot of people who say "look, I know, capitalism sucks, absolutely, but it's the only thing that works right now!"

This absolutely shouldn't stop you from dreaming big, my friend.

Europe is great because of a huge number of fully public or heavily tax subsidised services.

Pedantic structuralism is right wing. Period. If you are obsessed with any modernist philosophy, you are right wing. There is no structuralist left. That's a polite fiction children on the Internet tell themselves as they argue about which outdated political dogma they have pinned to their jacket.

Using identity politics to drive wedges in order to divide and conquer is unequivocally right-wing.

You think capitalism is your identity? Well that's soul crushingly sad.

What do you suggest for the transition? You've left out the most important part.

Also, stop trying to confuse left, right and the middle.

Normalize including an argument with hot takes

I mean even if you believe this Marx at least suggested the benefits of industrial capital should be retained somehow. Whether that's by fencing it in, simulating it entirely, or by disciplining capitalists directly you do realistically need some form of industrial production.

Ok, guess I (a social democrat) am a right winger. Which makes me exactly as bad as people defending Israeli genocide, anti lgbt people, anti imigration people and so on.

Because you can't fucking understand that there is more to politics than just economic policy. And that there is more to economic policy than just capitalism x socialism.

Type of brain dead take that adds 0 value to the world. Lmao.
