Better in a slowly sinking ship than to be torn apart by sharks. Even if the people in the ship are ignoring it's sinking.
And ironically depending on the boat's construction it may fill with water and still maintain some buoyancy. Or only half the boat will fill. The boat will be a lot worse, but still provide a barrier to the sharks
You're getting too lost in the metaphor, here. Capitalism itself is unsustainable, and neither the DNC nor GOP are willing to transition to Socialism, or even can. The only option is worker organization and overthrow of the system. There are no "sharks," there's no bouyancy in a dying Empire as Capitalism collapses, there's Socialism or barbarism in our future.
Fascist = sharks
I'd say capitalism will be easier to defeat under a liberal democracy than and authoritarian fascist regime.
It's better to stay separated from the sharks I'd say
I think its the opposite. A weakened capitalism that has to resort to fascism to keep itself together is fragile.
