I feel like people believe in either the capitalism or communism. The draw from both are interesting. On the one hand you have the ability to reach any peak you want - by creating something that people want. On the other, the focus is more on the laborer, a promise to make sure everyone has the basic needs.

I'm a free market person, but with guardrails. I think just because guardrails exist does not mean Capitalism is broken or does not work. I also believe that from a political perspective, one party (republicans) are afraid of adding guardrails because it might mean capitalism is weak compared to the alternative.

And on the other hand, the democrats are fully willing to bend the knee to the DSA and let the system collapse.

So what will actually happen? I don't think America will ever be a communistic society, but there may be severe pain in the coming years until everyone in congress is replaced with something else (maybe Forward Party comes back?)
