Maybe a system where greed is less relevant than like, how resources are understood and distributed? There's no exceptional level of "greed" that makes this system stop working, it has never worked to the benefit of the overwhelming majority of people.

So... get rid of the greedy dastardly then?

I mean, obviously it takes more than getting rid of people that seem to prop up the system as it is. The system creates those people as much as it is created by them. Its not like the world would magically transform onto a magical utopia if we suddenly got rid of the capital class. Others would simply seize the opportunity to become the new capital class.

The same would happen if we just did the opposite, get rid of the system. Those same people would still push anything that replaces it into where it was before.

It will take more than a one-liner to effectively change the world.

Is that what you mean?

Love it when I have libs mansplain shit.

Hey bud, you ever think about why you believe the conditions we live under are natural and inevitable? I wonder who it benefits to think that way and whether you have arrived at this understanding through passive exposure to some kind of contrived network of institutions that both produce and distribute knowledge and whether those institutions are subject to like, some kind of hierarchy of power. If that was the case, I wonder how that power is achieved and maintained... Perchance, is there some fundamental element from which the entirety of that....system...is orgnnized around...I wonder if anyone else has thought about this ever.

The smugness on you motherfuckers who pretend to want change but clearly have not taken the time to learn about what the fuck you're even talking about. Vibe-critiques from y'all.

Where did I say it was natural and inevitable? I said that the current conditions feed on themselves, not that it can never change, or that it shouldn't.

It feels like you're not really looking for ways to improve the world, just ways to complain about other people not doing enough to improve your life.

Jesus Christ, it is seriously like you lack object permanence specifically for what your words mean. OK lib.
