How do we get rid of capitalism? Any actionable items you want to offer? I agree with you to be clear. I'm trying to live in the world we have not the world I want.
there would need to be a revolution to get rid of capitalism in this country, which I don’t think will happen and I’m not even really advocating for. I’m fine, but I can see how it is the cause for these issuee.
steps that would improve things without a revolution, so not getting rid of capitalism would require laws to be passed that got big money donors out of politics (good luck with that since it would require those benefiting from big money donors to do that) which would enable a much more regulated form of capitalism to keep these corporations/businesses in line instead of allowing them to have all the power as they currently do.
then you’d need much higher taxes on the very rich and wealthy in this country and true redistribution to the people to balance out the growing wealth inequality and provide basic necessities (federal jobs guarantee, free higher education (community college/trade school), public housing/low income that isn’t trash, good public transportation, free healthcare especially mental) to people as a guaranteed right.
anything that can be done to bring factory jobs and other blue collar jobs that have been outsourced to overseas should be attempted.
once you remove these stresses the playing field that a lot of disgruntled men are falling behind it will be more level. they’ll have more money in their pockets and time on their hands to do things they enjoy and have a much more meaningful and enjoyable social life.
as it is now it’s just a rat race to
survive for many men, let alone do anything they enjoy or have relationships they enjoy. the every man (and woman for that matter) for yourself mentality leaves many men behind. many women only checking for certain men as their own survival mechanism, which leads to more disgruntled men that are getting left behind. capitalism is not good for social relationships, which in turn makes it bad for society too.
even if these issues were to be solved and I’m not that optimistic, you’d still have some disgruntled people for whatever reason, but i guarantee it would be far less than currently. this trend isn’t going to get any better as wealth inequality continues to rise, which it will unchecked.
