      I’m sorry, but outside of Singapore, do you have any single example?

      Because well, “it worked this one time on the entire history of the world” isn’t the flex you seem to think it is.

        Yes. I don’t know the correct English terminology for that though. Before the company goes bankrupt the court may force the company to being working under outside supervision with rather wide powers. Not caring about what owners or workers think about it. Literal fascism. The idea is that all sides are interested to company to live. And if nothing helps then it will just continue with bankruptcy. Nobody loses much.

          so you think fascism is laws and contracts? dude. fascism is violence and chaos. in your analogy, fascism wouldn’t be the bank foreclosing because of a failure to pay, it would be the factory owner putting his son in charge and telling him to burn the place down so that the payment records for his majority minority workforce are destroyed and he can deny not paying them

      cite your sources because it basically always goes exactly like this. fascism is just capitalist greed going mask off, and it always results in mass scale theft and grift, and with us, the regular folk, getting tortured for not being born wealthy. it only ever ends with living conditions getting so bad that a war breaks out in which us, the regular folk, storm the fascist trenches and bunkers to oust them and take back what was always ours. what’s more, is that consistently we, the regular folk, always get sold out by the elites who decided to take our side right at the very end, allowing fascism to survive enough to come back around a century later. that’s what Hannah Arendt was warning us about in her nuremberg trials testimony. that the world leaders putting the nazis on trial weren’t so different from the nazis themselves when you get right down to it. and then it happened: project paperclip brought the nazis best and brightest to the west, and what did they do? plant the seeds of fascism to arise again.

      Pretty naive.

      When the big fishes are all fascists (or communist like China is today), there’s not need for capitalism.

        (or communist like China is today)

        Why do people think communism is what China has?

        Do you think NK are democratic too? It’s right there in the name, why would a dictator lie?

        /s

        I’ve not heard anyone call China communist for a while. At least not anyone trying to speak with accuracy about wealth distribution over there.

          Actually, income inequality has quite lowered in china. It’s 0,36 gini. While it used to be equal to USA.

          The USA increased its income inequality while China lowered theirs. Gotta pay due diligence

            But that still doesn’t mean communism. It may be socialism. Props to em for less inequality though.
