"OK so look, Capitalism is right wing.

Period.

If you are pro-capitalism, you are Right Wing.

There is no pro-capitalist Left. That’s a polite fiction in the US that no one can afford any longer as the ecosystem is actually collapsing around us."

    So there is nothing saying that it will happen and that all welfare will be gone.

    Will we be worse off for a while? Yeah, Europe isn’t in a great situation now with the fairly recent COVID outbreak, economic problems, the attempted invasion and ongoing war in Ukraine, energy problems, and climate change. While the future isn’t all rainbows and unicorns, it isn’t as bleak as you made it in your earlier comment. There isn’t anything pointing to the total collapse of welfare and/or the entire economy.

      So I make the fairly mild claim that capitalists will destroy the public sector when profits go down. You ask for sources of that claim (even though I’m just making a prediction based on past trends). I then show you that these talks of cutting back spending are already happening, and you dismiss it because I can’t predict the future? And I am the biased one here?
