I’m brainwashed? By government? Oh puh-lease. You’ll have to do vastly better than that, my friend, or you’ll find yourself running around in circles.
Remember that to ‘assume’ makes an ass out of u and me.
Somnambulance is something I broke free of decades ago.
I agree with you that true capitalism doesn’t exist. It can’t ever exist.
Not without an evolution of consciousness.
Socialism doesn’t need government if human consciousness evolves (humans once servived and thrived on a sharing economy before the agricultural revolution and that didn’t require any system of government).
Until that consciousness evolution happens, both of those outdated systems are doomed to dysfunctionality.
Why? Because both of those systems were invented in a time when humans believed that the earth’s resources were infinite.
Ridiculously archaic economic systems.
In fact, they both contradict and are incapable of adhering to the actual meaning of the word economy - careful management of available resources.
The answer is getting rid of the monetary system altogether and downsizing government until it is made obsolete.
I’d recommend you to do some deeper research. Starting with the three systems I suggested earlier in this thread before you’re capable of discussing this further. That should take you a few months of full time study to get your head around. Then we can continue, as it will unravel the inculcation you’ve received about capitalism.
Until then, we’ll not likely get anywhere from further metaphorical tennis rallies.
