Most of my problems aren’t caused by conflict between my nation and other nations. One world government is just another government, it can be a capitalist hellscape just like mine is today.
I keep seeing this repeated, but it’s simply not true. Capitalism isn’t the problem, Oligarchy is. This article I linked mathematically proves that it doesn’t matter what form of governance your society uses, it inevitably falls into an oligarchy without strong recurring investments into social welfare.
So, keep voting for the people that want to expand social security, expand job protections, expand medicare/healthcare, increase the minimum wage, while decreasing cost of living, education, and housing (progressive democrats, basically).
If we can get Kamala in office, with a supermajority in the house/senate, we could finally pass some much needed shit, and stave off the inevitable turn to fascism that an oligarchal society seems to induce. It would have been better if we just elected Bernie Sanders, but can’t stall progress for perfection!
That’s literally saying that capitalist economies concentrate wealth and lead to oligarchy. It’s not talking about “any kind of government” and in fact it’s always talking about economies: specifically free market economies only. You can combat those forces, but they’re the forces of capitalism, and capitalism is the problem.
You show a lack of knowledge and imagination. This is capitalist realism incarnate. Yes, every kind of capitalist economy moves towards oligarchy, good point?
