They've done plenty with it. There have been a large number of positive changes. Lists exist in SO many places, go find them. Challenge yourself.

Just not the deep changes in the system itself many of us know is needed.

You can't fix Capitalism, you have to get rid of it.

[-] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 months ago

True, but replacing it with fascism is not an improvement.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

Never said it was. Capitalism enables the conditions for fascism, the way to avoid and stop fascism is to remove the root cause.

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah, we'll get right on that. /s

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

Eventually we will, or we will have fascism, yes. That's how it works.

Sure, I've read the Communist Manifesto too.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

That one's kinda weak for learning why fascism is inevitable in a Capitalist system. Wage Labor and Capital and Value, Price and Profit both do a much better job of actually explaining the inherent unsustainability of Capitalism.

As fun to read as the CM is, it's ultimately a pamphlet to radicalize workers, it isn't really a solid overview of Marxist theory.

They’ve done plenty with it.

You're right, Biden signed an executive order making it illegal for a railway union to actually go on strike. And he kept a bunch of Trump appointees in positions where they can do the most damage. Like that dipshit who runs the postal service now.
