Hey tech billionaires, if you want to talk about radical change, let’s abolish venture capitalism
(www.theguardian.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Who are all these extremist wackos who don't already want to abolish capitalism?
Capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than any other system. It's not perfect, but neither is any other system.
The Capitalists sure did make an enemy out of anything remotely communist. I think it’s been several years in a row now Nordic countries have been rated the happiest in the world. They don’t practice traditional capitalism either (heavily regulated capitalism with a strong social safety net), one could argue they’re on to something
What the hell are you talking about. The nordic countries constantly rate as one of the most economically free countries in the world. Capitalism is everywhere in the nordic countries, but it's also used to support comprehensive welfare state.
And yes, I come from the "happiest country in the world" so I guess I can literally see that we are quite capitalistic.
When the Capitalists enslave your country and remove your safety nets and healthcare, tell them youre a capitalist lol
Who are these special "capitalists" you are referring to? Majority of Finnish citizens and literally every major political party here?
The Billionaires. They’re already coming for NHS, you think you’re not next?
No lol. Also the Finnish health care system is already heavily a mix of public and private sectors because of how our social security system and occupational health care system works.
Are these Capitalists in the room right now?
They're in my government right now.
Nope, they’re gangbangin your mom
I've had so many debates with people who say "socialism is a success, it works in Scandinavia".
And I'm like, when have the Scandinavian and Nordic countries ever been socialist?
