I think you are projecting more than a little as you are just describing other types of groups. Humans make groups and groups are a form of centralization and centralization has inherent issues. Not saying we would be better off without them as that is absurd, but we can better manage the negative effects be it capitalism or communism. They are just different sides of the same coin and if we fail to recognize that we are doomed for more suffering.

What? I am saying better managing it would improve it. Higher taxes the more you make. Caps on company sizes. Strict regulations with consequences that actually mean something if broken. There are ways to manage. We just choose not too. What is the better alternative as every system has it pros and cons but all of not managed right, lead to bad outcomes. Maybe it is impossible as fundamentally humans and human nature are at the core.

Comments like this that offer no value of than a sly remark are often just projecting. I shared my view. Feel free to join the discussion and share yours.

I would agree with that by the evidence we are seeing but the comment I made was about this incident specifically in the USA.

That is me entire point. Accountability must be built in and too much centralization needs to be managed or the beast will grow into a monster and impact all negatively including itself in the long run. Lots of ways to manage, but like all centralized systems, they tend to become corrupt over time and don’t kid yourself that other systems where the means are owned by the people as they suffer from the same issue. Centralization is the enemy here not capitalism per se.

Agreed. We do not know the whole story here, but it does not look good and I am willing to bet these people being attacked is unjustified.

It does beg the question, what other pressures is he facing and why would he bow to them?

Bringing back strong 1990s Pizza Hut memories. Sure they are the same still today, but I have not stepped into one since the 1990s as I value my health. Ahahahaha

It is indeed an effective strategy to distract the masses unfortunately. There is a real growth opportunity here for humanity if we are able to see it as clearly the established pattern is not serving society.

The issue really is not capitalism, it is too much centralization due to poor capitalism management. Saying we should unlearn is ridiculous as what is the alternative that also does not lead to centralization and all the issues it brings with it. The more we point the finger at capitalism, the more we are not forced on the real enemy of too much centralization regardless of the political or economic system.
