    Crypto is a ledger making it inherently bad for privacy. It doesn’t have any real value, its just believe that holds its value (can’t be eaten or be used to create anything). Its really bad for the climate and wastes resources like crazy. Its not a better payment system and its unregulated, meaning you can get scammed and nobody can reverse the damage. Just why do people want it to be a thing, the issues are so many and solution few.

    You said it yourself the systems are created by people, the people can be evil. They are the root of the evil aka anyone upholding capitalism because they profit even tho they know exactly how bad it is for the world and people, just like the people creating fascism the fascist are the root of evil.



  • People only really change when it hurts so much they are forced to. It needs to get much worse to reach that breakpoint and critical mass. (Some reach it sooner than others ) But when it does, we need to be ready with the most logical and attractive solution to avoid them choosing fascism or other extremes. Left ideology needs better marketing, why not sell that utopian vision we hope to achieve.


  • For entertaining information, I can recommend a few YouTube channels that usually cover every question you might have.

    Second Thought - has well produced videos on past and current events with the socialist perspective that is in my opinion based.

    Overzealot - is pretty new and mostly covers the south American history with socialism very well.

    Hakim - while having very interesting historical facts, seems a bit extreme sometimes and you need a lot of prior knowledge to follow him.

    Gus - The german version of second thought, just less quality.

    Climate Town - while not promoting socialism, is great at showing the insanity of the current system, with good humor.

    And why is the norway model not great, because it still relies on 50% oil exports and like any capitalistic system can eventually deteriorate the social system, through lobbies and such, while at the same time still supporting exploitation of either the environment or people (also abroad).
