The best option for everyone would be to dethrone the capitalists and set up democratic socialism.


Socialism still relies on capitalism to function.


There they capitalism where I have $200 and give it to you to paint my house.

Then there’s whatever Wall Street does, that has nothing to do with the average sugar coated view of what capitalism is.


I don't even have a problem with much of what Wall Street does. I just think that (via democracy) people have the right to allocate labor and resources towards non-profitable but humanitarian ends.


Everyone except the capitalists. And the Kulaks.


I'm not so sure about the capitalists. I think its actually pretty bad for a person's character to pursue money at the expense of other things and to have a lot more money than you need.


You'll be surprised as to who are the greatest allies of democratic socialist governments. Take a look into it, it's out there in the open.


No idea why people are downvoting me. Socialist democratic governments have always been allied with the large private banks - the capitalists - openly. It is not something they try to hide, they are proud of that model. Socialist and capitalist leaders are many times the same person changing roles depending on if he/she is in office or not.
