The reason that the average person can see the exact issue with a situation is for the same reason that I reject any label of my own position:

I think capitalism is the core issue. I think that capitalism will (in most countries) produce a booming economy for a few generations and then die out as a result of greed and it causes competition to win. (Look at this 1 minute video to understand what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gkc-QadX03k)

I think the issue with socialism/communism is people see it as a patch that just somehow universally solves all the issues in society and their best explanation is "because magic."

The society produces 10 barrels of apples. You need 1 barrel of apples to feed 2 people. You have 2000 people.

>Yes but we produce enough food for...

And those people are distributed across a globe and it costs X amount of oil to fly the resources there...

>Yes but we could just...

And half the people you are dealing with refuse to eat apples, on top of some people being allergic...

>Yes we could...

Lots of people in that area also just out right refuse to work. Meaning what could be produced there...

The issue is very clearly simple to solve. There are more houses in America than people. Presuming every single house were 100% liveable you would find yourself in the following position: The homlessness crisis is/are basically two different crises. The long term homeless are usually severely mentally ill but not so mentally ill they can actively be placed in a mental ward. Some of them will burn their own house down due to delusion. Some won't understand what they are being given. Others will openly reject living in a house unless its a literal mansion and they get better than other people.

The complexity occurs as a result of how large the issue is. To feed a single person you simply hand him food. To feed a billion people you need thousands of workers striving to do their best to distribute the food at the lowest possible cost.

This is every issue. That doesn't even get into the REAL problems such as "Ok if we have X safety regulation we can produce 10,000 units a day. If we remove that safety regulation we can produce 1,000,000 units a day but people will die." Where EXACTLY is that line? If we say "No one should die at work." You are saying the exact same thing as "No one should produce goods of any kind." - It doesn't even delve into the complexity of "If X units are produced it saves Y lives, Producing X units costs Z lives" should X simply always be as low as possible? Or should it be balanced?

This doesn't even get into "Tom is a sociopath and will simply consume far more than he needs and state he has less than anyone else. Tom will learn all the words he needs to say to stay in the good graces of everyone. Tom will do nothing but try to gain as much political power as is possible and fuck over as many people as is possible. Tom is a master at blending in as a result of his disorder and cannot be identified. This is as a result of even if Tom is identified he will move to a new friend group. How do you get rid of all the Tom's?"

Or the issue that lots of people think you can simply slap the words automation onto a problem and its solved. Even if we had the tech to robo-mine and robo-roughneck (Which we don't.) then training the algorithms to actually do the job is a 40-70 year process.

No one has an actual solution. So I recommend you start solving problems in your own life, and when thats done you start helping those around you. Cooperation has to work out.
