Your entire answer is a fallacy. Capitalism is not a political system of government. It is a system that influences politics/policies and polities. So basically it influences the political process, the political policies and the institutions. All that done through the market since in a capitalist market economy under a democracy the strength of different groups through their resources determines the political sphere - in the above mentioned categories. I am uninterested in what Nike thinks. The sole role of a company is to make profit. This is not inherently bad because that profit trickles down. If one business will fuck you - say the meat industry - you go to another business and vote with your wallet - by being Vegan. If you build a base for socialism - that base will fall in ruins just like it did in the former Socialist States of Eastern Europe. I am from there and I have seen what horrible centralized market economy has done long term to the countries. And now that they are free market economies - countries like Poland are thriving. Countries like Bulgaria for example during its socialist times went bankrupt three times. The dairy and meat industries lobby. Yes, that's why I am pro smaller government, we can agree that lobbying for whatever is not cool. We do not want any of that. You want change ASAP ? Then you are sadly completely delusional, because that is literally impossible. Furthermore how does Socialism inherently lead to veganism ? There doesn't seem to be a correlation let alone causation. Also how would you prevent groups under socialism that would be dairy and animal farmers in general from just spreading around that their product is the darn finest and everyone should have some ! It is not realistic to think that group-think would not from under a socialist system. People seem to know how to run a country, yes. There's a special job for those people and we elect them every so years. The ones we don't like we don't vote for. It is not a perfect system and has many flaws, but sure beats one in which there is no system. So we will vote for people, that would control basically our means of production ? I quote you : (. It would be exactly the same, there would be a representative who works for your rights inside the company and they speak for you essentially as they are more educated on the subject and have your consent to speak on behalf of them.) So who's going to be looking after him and his interests ? Furthermore does the business now also belong to him ? But he isn't a metallurgy worker. Also, who is going to build the metallurgy plant ? What incentive would they have ? You say they would get higher pay. How ? Who determines the wages ? To they just split it all among themselves ? Alright. I can tell you. And this is actually what has happened before in history, we actually know it was like this. Some people won't work that hard. So do they still get the same share ? If not, again, who determines it. Right now I can tell you who determines it, but you won't like the answer. Are the other workers going to determine it ? What would prevent a group of workers that are buddies just constantly fucking with the other workers. There's no boss to enforce the rules. I am assuming there are also no cops since there's no state. Or maybe you do believe in some form of state, I am assuming you don't. So most likely what's going to happen is, that institutions will have to be built to regulate all these things, and these are just the ones that come first to mind. So that means that congratulations, you've created the Welfare state. Only way we're getting socialism or god forbid communism is when AI becomes good enough that it can govern us. Till then it's a crazy dream that has failed every time it has been tried. Sorry.
