We are already in a largely socialist society. It's necessary and I'm fine with it.
How do you figure that?
But full on socialism doesn't work - that's been proven time and time again.
Full on
anything doesn't work. The world is far more complex than that, and humans have the same flaws no matter what system we devise. No political or economic system will or can eliminate human greed, ignorant arrogance, or tribalism.
But our current system is broken. We need to enforce existing monopoly laws that are largely ignored and end the business models of infinite growth and consolidation.
Yep.
The problem isn't unchecked socialism, or even unchecked capitalism. It's unchecked corporatism, tribalism, and anti-intellectualism.
But yeah, when you look at how easy it is for the Bezoses and Trumps of the world to pay virtually
nothing in income tax, while tens of millions of peasants
applaud that and say that it just shows that tax rates on billionaires should be
lowered...... yeah, there's problems, all right.
