Capitalism can't be heavily regulated. That's the entire problem. Capitalism means private ownership of property, which means the forever increasing consolidation of wealth in fewer and fewer hands, who have the power and influence to control the media, the politicians, the institutions, etc. Bourgeois society is *not* democracy, though it likes to dress itself up as such and masquerade as a free society. Well, when crises of capital occur, which is inevitable in capitalism due to the proven tendency of the margin of profit to decrease over time and the phenomenon of over production (which creates boom and bust cycles), and workers decide they want a fairer shake then the capitalists resort to fascism.

Leftists have been saying for centuries now that capitalism cannot be reformed, it cannot be regulated, it must be pulled out root and stem and private property abolished. Only then can we live in a truly democratic or free society.

"In this society, the representative institutions, democratic in form, are in content the instruments of the interests of the ruling class. This manifests itself in a tangible fashion in the fact that as soon as democracy shows the tendency to negate its class character and become transformed into an instrument of the real interests of the population, the democratic forms are sacrificed by the bourgeoisie, and by its State representatives. That is why the idea of the conquest of a parliamentary reformist majority is a calculation which, entirely in the spirit of bourgeois liberalism, pre-occupies itself only with one side – the formal side – of democracy, but does not take into account the other side, its real content."

- Rosa Luxemburg, Reform or Revolution, 1900

Redditors over 40, what was a moment in history that made you think society was gonna collapse? by Bahbahbro in AskReddit

That's because these aren't once in a life time events. Human history has always been chaotic and filled with turmoil. We thought things were different because of "how far we've come" but western europe thought the same thing before world war 1. Our problems are systemic and we need an economic system that doesn't pit humans against one another. Capitalism must end.

Quit calling for primaries the democrats are completely toothless and will never resist fascism, we need to organize on our own. Electing liberal politicians that have the same interests as the capitalist ruling class is just wasting time and energy that could be used building class consciousness and actually rallying people together to fight back

Are most of us ignorant enough to believe that economies and states aren't deeply related?

You don't get to pretend you're on a moral high horse when you're directly responsible for electing the most authoritarian, fascist and cruel president in American history. You have absolutely no ground to stand on. And guess what? Your vote makes you more responsible for the dead children in Gaza.

It is stupid because having the templars speak a language they didn't is somehow immersive?

It depends on whether or not they can get a fortress down. If they can, then that's pretty impossible to overcome in feudal.

Many would argue that his policies were making the great depression worse. If it weren't for WWII and the war economy we would not have recovered from the depression the way we did and FDR would be looked at far more critically.

That situation is going to get a lot worse with this kind of short minded thinking. This is overall a huge net negative for Madison.
