    Under a purely capitalist system, those things would be privatized and commodified like they are in the US. You know, that renowned american healthcare and education…

    Yes I’m very well aware of the problems of America, you guys literally won’t shut the fuck up about them 😩

    I’d argue it represents a bigger problem with democracy than capitalism though, the only reason you don’t have universal healthcare and education is because your countries voters don’t want it

    If they did they would have elected representatives who do and implemented it

    Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
