    Maaaaaaybe the USSR isn’t the best example of a better society we want to be building.

    I’m watching the whole ideological-purge thing happen in the US and it kinda sucks.

      Both extremes on display those examples, seems like they both end up in the same place in the end. Maybe it would be reasonable to use any system that is a mix of things, instead of focusing on pure capitalism or communism.

        There’s really no such thing as a pure system, any mix is still going to have either the public sector as principle or private, ie which controls the state, large firms, and key industries. There’s no way to keep them “balanced,” one will have power over the other, and its best for it to be the public sector.

      Either build something better or shutup, I say. Unless you’re a big fan of Tsarist Russia

              The whole point was that I don’t reject successful revolutions while not having achieved anything myself. That’s you dog.

                I never rejected anything, maybe try reading again and this time not just seeing what you want. And what was successful before doesn’t mean it will be successful today. People just don’t understand context or nuance. That’s you dog.

                  Ok, if you’re just going to lie about easily verified things in a discussion only the two of us are going to see, there’s really no point in having it.

                    I’m not the same guy from before in your convo. Maybe you should verify those easily verifiable things before you look even more silly lol.

                    Looks like someone else did see the convo, me. This is a public forum buddy, assuming it’s private is ignorant. Man, facts are not your friend huh?

        I’ve played civilization and I’m pretty sure there’s other forms of government besides Communism and Monarchy that have low corruption, albeit lacking the ability to force the citizens into war on the leader’s whim.

          Corruption is a matter of individuals rather than the form of government. Any human system is bound to be corruptible since it involves humans.

          I think a strong anti corruption culture is the best defense against it.

          Isnt civilization the game where “democracy” has 0 corruption? I think its kinda biased and not exactly based on reality
