minus-squaresurewhynotlem@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·1 month agoIn capitalism, you have a bunch of psychopaths scrambling to the top, tearing each other down in the process. It’s horrible, and many people suffer. In communism, you have only a handful of psychopaths trying to scramble to the top. They get there unhindered. It’s horrible, and many people suffer. I think the problem isn’t the system, it’s the psychopaths.
