    Economic systems are not viewed in terms of who “rules” unless we are taking a Marxist perspective.

    The first sentence of the post is and will always be completely untrue.

      Bro just watched tech billionaires coup the US government and he still doesn’t understand the problems with the concentration of wealth.

        At no point have I said that the concentration of wealth isn’t a problem.

        I have said that it is false to claim democracy and capitalism cannot co-exist. They absolutely can and do in many nations. France is currently both.

          Far too many people have actually studied Marx in academic situations for Marxist economics to ever become mainstream at the very least. The simple fact that the Labor Theory of Value is fundamentally incorrect would be the major problem. We aren’t adopting Marxist economics like we won’t be going back to a Lamarkian perspective on evolution, because we know it is wrong.

          Marxist sociology is what I hope becomes more common.
