A European Army - How Would It Actually Work?
1.4 million soldiers, thousands of tanks, and a unified EU command — a European Army that rivals the U.S. sounds incredible. But is it even possible? This video explores how an EU army could actually work, the obstacles in its way, and why the U.S. might not be too happy about it.
Cutting caffeine from my life was one of the best decisions I made in 2024. Less anxious in meetings and no more afternoon slump. Strongly recommend switching to barley

Hold on for a second.
You had only one message before this, said I don't recognise the importance revolution has played in Human history. I reshared the comment I made to you, stating the opposite. You retort you don't know who it is & question the relevancy??
Full circle, back to your original point regarding abolishment of capitalism. My point: Political pressure can help & democracies can purge without overt violence.
Rasmus Jarlov Danish Parliament:
Here is Europe. We have happily paid three times as much to Ukraine as the USA. We are not asking for anything in return and we are not extorting the Ukrainians while they are fighting for their lives. Because we are not assholes.
Thank you, Rasmus!

"Revolutionaries were undeniably impactful but incremental change has made its mark" ~ Luke Leal Barros (24/02/2025)
#Ukraine must be strong so that diplomacy can work successfully through that strength. A great deal of diplomacy is already in motion, and developments will only speed up.

Beyond the odd limitations of the timeline you choose to reflect upon, there is precedent. If your goal is to understand. I ask you look at how economic systems have changed abstract from the 200Y view you're married too.
Research the move away from Feudalism and mercantilism. Economic system change occurs when the right social, political and economical landscape emerges. Long lasting change is built on gradual system development.
@bebadefabo @Radical_EgoCom @srijit
While possible, I don't believe it is likely that we will make a sustained conversion to feudalism in Europe or even the US.
We need to be cognizant of the challenges we face & work to overcome them but there is precedent for doing it without revolution.
@Radical_EgoCom @bebadefabo @srijit
It doesn't make sense to limit our perspective to as short a timeframe as you're allowing for in the context of system change. If we account for technological and social differences we have all history to learn from.
RE Capitalism can & has at times amplified the 5 issues you recognised. I believe over time even within capitalism (but hopefully not) and its characteristics, all but environmental issues be solved successfully.
@Radical_EgoCom @bebadefabo @srijit
My bad, I had deleted my opening paragraph, intending to rework it.
"Historically, Incremental change has never abolished capitalist exploitation"
Look beyond a struggle against capitalism, and instead look at the precedent from when we changed from Feudalism to capitalism. Political change was built slowly, with small wins. Could we not be surfs saying the same thing in the year 1400?
The improvements to our economic system...
