Cause, you know, it's always worked soo well in the past...
What’s the other option? Continue to be fucked by a system the privatizes everything and destroys our environment? Continue to be fucked harder by the billionaire class?
This dude must be trolling.
or maybe doesn't have a very broad experience of assets, ownership or work.
Surely you don't want to suggest that environmental protection has worked better in socialist countries?
So you think when the state owns the means of production things are gonna be better?
Nah but When the workers do it will be.
Which past is this that you speak of? And how is the present a better option than anything at all, really?
You mean apart from not getting shot if you want to leave the country or being sent to be worked to death in a prison labor camp for a dissenting opinion?
Still don't know what you're talking about. Anyway, in capitalist free America people are shot for knocking in the neighbour's door, is that better? Lest we talk about the private jail system that demands prisoners, in order to be sustainable.
Have you never heard about the USSR, the GDR or communist China?
The Soviet Union, Cuba, Vietnam. Are these countries you want us to model ourselves after?
Yes. All of those countries had more civil rights and longer life expectancy after the revolution
Oh yeah that makes sense. Because a revolution automatically means that your life expectancy increases. At this point, let's just have continuous revoltuions back to back. We'll live forever.
No, overthrowing capitalism and beginning a transition to a more rational economic system increases your life expectancy. You can literally look up graphs.

It has, and anybody who has even a bare minimum of historical literacy knows this.
