Even as much as I love the Fediverse and tend to lean pretty far left, sometimes this place honestly feels like a Marxist circlejerk.

As a Buffalonian, I can confirm that this is indeed a very dangerous issue we face at the border. Damn maple menaces.

People not voting is why we’re in the situation we are in right now

This is an incredibly well written response and I apologize in advance if my response comes across as overly cynical or perhaps dismissive.

My main concern with the complete abolition of private property is that unfortunately I don’t have enough trust in most governments to fairly distribute resources. Therefore I think a mixed market economy with a strong social welfare system is the most feasible method. Through this, we can gradually work towards socialist principles without completely alienating a large section of the populace. I don’t think a direct transition would be sustainable in the long term unfortunately.

Honestly I don’t see what’s wrong with a mixed market economy

Can’t forget “slut” in Swedish. :D
