They want artificial employees to discipline the labor market but what they will get instead is a deskilled labor force and business structures that are even more resistant to adaptation.

Who's the bigger idiot: The person working a service job that has little time to acquire new technical skills to understand what a VPN is, or the person who actually has time and resources enough to shitpost all day but hasn't sufficiently read enough to understand what systemic or structural issues are in regards to society.

Guy actually wins the election and the popular vote and you say he did worse than Harris?

It's funny, we hear about "be nice or you will push them further right" but really it's the shitty policies that push people to look for more extreme solutions. Wait, that isn't funny...

Wouldn't that have made the USSR capitalist as well? I think a key distinction is how authority within a party is established. If authority is derived from ownership then that is clearly capitalist. If authority is derived from the party itself, then that is something else.

That's all hard to do when billionaires are the ones structuring society. The point is we don't get to choose corrective societal actions unless it is an exercise of individual privilege. I would have loved to take the train to visit relatives, but it literally is not an option.

Urban centers have less waste or CO2 per capita than their rural or suburban counterparts. The problem is our pursuit of ever increasing profits is extremely wasteful but is currently how states gain influence.

Ehh, the capitalist class doesn't call the shots in China though, the party does. And their private corporations don't simply have shareholders, it has party representation embedded in the control structure making "ownership" moot because ultimately the party can veto or seize production at moments notice.

That being said, when Xi starts claiming socialism is inevitable, he does so to delay it's implementation.

It's barbarism or socialism. Choose wisely.
