I feel like capitalism with strong regulation and social safety nets is the way to go tbh. Good laws that allow for the thriving of coops and stuff. It’s just kinda hard to maintain that without a recent memory of a cataclysmic war, ig.
Terms like Capitalism and Socialism mean different things to different people. Yes, there are official or academic definitions you could reference. I’d argue that the larger movement of socialism is less about a well-defined prescription of how to run a society and more about criticism of capitalism, its consequences, and finding better alternatives. It’s about diluting the power of the wealthy (the capitalist or owner class, those who are hoarding the power and wealth) as much as possible and using democracy to distribute that power among the working classes to create a more fair and just society.
What aspects of capitalism make you feel it is a better way to organize society?
What aspects of socialism make you feel it is inferior?

we are in an manmade mass extinction event.
so capitalism where capital doesn’t bestow social power. maybe the capital should be owned by the people so it can’t be exploited against them.
