      Hopefully something will fix it. Maybe it’ll be communism. It’s just a little ridiculous to believe that humans are hardwired to be capitalists. Especially since we’ve had two major economic systems prior to capitalism.

        I’d be open to a bottom-up communist-like path of change. I’ve given it some thought but haven’t come up with anything viable that doesn’t easily succumb to corruption.

          What do you mean “bottom-up Communist-like path to change?” What’s wrong with a democratic worker state?

                That interesting. How does one fund a campaign? How far vertical does a communist state go. How much power do those positions have? Seems like we just end up where we are now.

                  Within Capitalism, Socialism, or Communism?

                  How far vertical does a communist state go.

                  As far as it needs to for proper administration as democratically decided.

                  How much power do those positions have?

                  As much as it needs as democratically decided.

                  Seems like we just end up where we are now.

                  In what manner?

                    Do you have a vision of what you’d like to see? Is there paths that can feasibly be done today to help steer the boat in a more communistic way? I’m just saying if we try the top down approach and kill off the dissidents again we’ll just fail.
