    If we want to see this stop, we need a revolution. We need to build a worker-led anti-imperialist movement.

      Yeah… i’ve seen how that works. Workers are incredibly corrupt, like most people.

      We need something that delivers transparency with intelligence and a huge amount of social empathy as it’s core. Can’t work in this world. Globalism is here but fragmented feifdoms of horror remain all over, even in the wealthiest and best educated areas. To prop up one nation on the grounds of social empathy at the cost of others invites the same kind of problem we’re in today, and there’s simply not enough to go around with 8 billion people.

      I don’t have a solution to fix the world’s problems, if I did I would use it. Instead all I can do is push for some kind of regulatory action. Again, consequences for shareholders. There should be the biggest penalty for unethical, immoral and illegal actions taken against humanity by the people who have a stake in the business. Leadership comes from the top, and if they are unable to avoid horrors, perhaps they shouldn’t have the assets that allow them to lead.

        Anarchism is the solution. We have enough resources and land for everyone to have a fantastic quality of life. We just need to stop allowing people to rule over us. Make everyone equal and corruption is no longer possible.

          Anarchism is the solution.

          Mmmm, I’m sorry to see this getting upvotes. Anarchism is great in theory, but the entire point of a government is to protect the weak, take from those that can afford and provide social safety nets for those who cannot.

          Even with our broken democracy, a lot of that still works, even though a lot more is broken.

          The solution to our broken democracy is not a lack of government completely.

          People bitch about government bloat and inefficiency, but you know what’s worse? Corporations with unfettered ability to maximise profit even more than they do now. The shitty limited regulations we have now? Gone in anarchy.

          Anarchy is rule by the strongest.

          It’d be great if we lived in some Star Trek future where everyone cooperated. But we don’t. I wish anarchy worked.

          Yeah, OK. Show me the anarchist paradise of yours on this planet today. Just one with more than a million souls.

          The reality is that a minority of individuals will resort to problematic actions to gain control and keep control, and that’s why there are so many dictatorships across the world in 2026.

          Once you get beyond monkeysphere scale, things like anarchism fall apart quite quickly.
