    This huge problem stems from “we need”. Collectivism leads to hierarchy, because a collective isn’t semantically compatible to one person. A collective can’t be responsible, a collective can’t make a decision, a collective can’t think, a collective can’t speak in one voice. But collectivism means trying to treat a collective like one person. Leading to dictatorships.

      Finally, someone had to say it. While capitalism is far from perfect, I’d rather have billionaire capitalist assholes that I can then call on their bullshit than so-called ‘socialism’ which is just the pretty way to call a dictatorship. Show me one ‘socialist’ country that has thrived. One, come on.

      You talk as if with corporations a single person can be held responsible…

      You can have syndicates and get close to socialism

        shit, the average public corporation is a more representative democracy than the US’s actual government is.

            average US corpo is just 1 vote 1 share, just right there it’s more equal representation than the US government has been for it’s entire existence.

            throw in shit like recalling/installing new c-suites etc.

            far more responsive/equal form of government than the clown show that is US “democracy”
