There has to be someone without to create the demand for capitalism to work

I feel like that is generated naturally by pretty much everyone who has money, which is where wealth distribution plays a major role. Even if you work low paid job, there should be (ideally of course) tax cuts, reasonable minimal wage even if your job does not generate minimum wage value (and not too low), bunch of social programs, including free public transport, ectera ectera, essentially making everyone contribute to moving money around, instead of hoarding it or paying only for food/water.

there is still an imbalance of power between capitalists and workers and that tension means both sides have to be perpetually hyper vigilant in protecting their own interests against each other.

Understandable, but can you imagine a society without some form of class hierchy, especially when it's clear some people are naturally intelligent, while others are saved by "water is slippery" sign? It sounds like a society without competition. I get what you're saying, I just can't imagine something better and I understand if what I just said sounds controversial.

I always somehow assumed it's lower. Around 16 if I had to guess. We need a poll

Can you explain me why? Like I said, if government does it's job and wealth distribution works, then no one really needs to suffer

Got a good chuckle out of me tho

I'm here wondering what exactly does OP want because other systems tend to be more abusive towards workers and nowadays people screaming they don't want any work but all the benefits just sounds like lazy gen-z bums who watched too many tiktoks about how communism is utopia

Capitalism in itself isn't inherently bad. It gets bad when the government does not put enough regulations, anti-trust/monopolistic laws in place, lacks in social systems/wealth distribution/taxing the rich, etc.. Plenty of capitalist countries who are doing just fine. US is a good example about how not to do capitalism if you care about the people.

As an European, I want Americans to fight against fascism, at the same time, it sounds like it would require civil war, and if that happens, then the sharks circling around US would use that opportunity to make some moves. This whole thing makes me uneasy. Y'all need to be smart about this.

That's haram

But the post does not say "sneakily". In fact, this could be a great anti-drug campaign, choose between having kids or drugs. Post also said meth, which makes me imply hard drugs only, not weed

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the idea of eugenics is that someone controls who can re-produce. Using drugs is a personal choice, and there are already drugs that screws up your re-production system.

That was not my goal. It's like me being a redditor and saying redditors are neckbeards. While it sounds like I'm shitting on every redditor, pretty sure everyone knows I'm talking about "those parts of the site"

I tend to hope for the best, but you actually hit the nail, I've had the exact same thought at the back of my mind about lemmy for quite some time. Much of the community is made up of people who have been banned or disliked elsewhere, so this is their refugee. The very first thing I noticed is how toxic users are with downvotes. It is no longer a community tool about moderating quality discussions, it's essentially used as a "fuck you", so I had to disable (hide) it and disregard vote system on this site, especially after seeing how easily it is for people to mass downvote lemmy profiles with multiple accounts (happened to me 2 times, even highly upvoted plain humor comments were suddenly downvoted). My guess is that we're getting downvoted here, but do you really care?
