Wow. That’s… a lot. How long did it take you to write this, and why?
We live in a world of short-form communication. I’ll be honest, I used an LLM to summarize what you wrote, not because I didn’t try to read through it, but because I honestly couldn’t fully understand the point you were trying to make.
After going through it, I think the core disagreement comes down to a misunderstanding of what scarcity means in an economic sense. Scarcity is not simply whether there are enough homes compared to the number of homeless people, or whether there is enough food or water in the world.
Scarcity is the reality that we have finite resources: energy, time, labor, money, materials, and production capacity. Every economic or political system, whether socialist, communist, capitalist, or authoritarian, has to decide how those limited resources are allocated. Some systems handle that allocation better than others, and some fail spectacularly, but the underlying issue of scarcity still exists.
I think what you’re actually discussing is distribution and access to resources rather than scarcity itself. Those are related topics, but they are not the same thing.
I also have no idea why Epstein was brought up at the beginning of the response or how it connected to the argument being made.
If you’d like to continue the discussion, I would appreciate keeping the responses a little shorter and more focused so they’re easier to engage with. I’m doing this entirely from my phone, and extremely long responses are difficult to work through.
The fact you cannot read 500+ words anymore, and have to rely on AI, tells me you are untrustworthy.
“Scarcity” means “a situation in which something is not easy to find or get” according to Cambridge University.
You don’t read, you don’t listen or hear to what people have to say or complain about. Why should we expect you to know what is the economical reality of people, if you don’t even listen to them?
There is no scarcity. You couldn’t even name a single one. There is enough food, electricity, water, housing and toys for everyone to live a happy life with dignity. But those above us are hoarding everything and it is not trickling down as Ronald Reagan promised everyone it would.
This is how much money Jeff Bezos had like 5 years ago, visualized for people who can’t fathom how much a billion really is: https://eattherichtextformat.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/ (if scrolling doesn’t work, try your arrow keys). He has much more now, let alone Elon Musk, who is now a trillionaire.
The truth is, Capitalism is the worst solution for “scarcity,” and to still support Capitalism, which is currently rewarding pedophiles and evil people exclusively, is going to become something of the past. You want people to keep supporting Capitalism so people like Jeffrey Epstein can stay in power and continue raping children? That’s what Capitalism supporters are now, whether they like or not, it is what their actions are causing, directly or indirectly, no one cares anymore. People want Justice, and they can only get it through Socialism now.
