All economic structures possess different aspects that make them unbalanced or ripe for incompetence, corruption, or power trips/abuse. I wish we could basically outline all three and combine them

I'm more social democratic really believing in a government more in line with the Scandinavian states

Gonna mirror this with something similar because this is actually a good poll from you.

It failed in the past and If it met its own metric of success(vague), it would still not be the society I would want to live in which is why I am opposed to it as it has a desire to impose widely, itself on others.

I would also argue that saying “capitalism” is engaging in communism’s invented delusions of western society on their own terms.

It’s a modern religion and can’t easily coexist with any other.

Outline all three of what? I would argue that capitalism much more directly incentivizes corruption but this is about data and not changing minds so I won’t push that point lol

What is the appeal of the Nordic model over a more robust socialism for you? /genq

Seems the more stable one and something we actually have strong evidence of working.

Answered #2 in regard to it being “the best we have so far”. I believe that leftist economic concepts like central planning assuredly has people falling through the cracks whereas free markets and private business allows for more personal control over one’s financial situations. That is not a rejection that capitalism has plenty of people who fall through the cracks. It comes from the perspective of state mandated governance vs self-governance.

I think It would be inaccurate to say capitalism is a system

It might be better to look at *Euro Civilization as Secular, Secularizing, and Religious. Communism would be better looked at as the “new kid on the block, so to speak in terms of religion.

It would be secularized European nations or “late stage capitalism” which communism is meant for. I think communist 🇯🇵 would have been interesting but I don’t think it would work well in its historical or current form in the Orthodox Christian, Muslim, or Steppeman world. It has worked well in the Kibbutzim if you count them comrades.

It’s not that It hasn’t and never will work, it’s the de facto requirement of alteration of culture. (I recognize those were wide and broad generalizations.) I am sure there could be and Indeed are exceptions, however I mean the plurality of the people of the cultures mentioned.
