I never understood why we're stuck with just capitalism or communism, two economic systems developed before railroads were a thing and written down at night by candle light or a lantern burning whale fat. I think we should come up with something better. To quote President Not Sure, "The water doesn't have to come from the toilet, but that's the general idea."

"It's socialism or barbarism!". It's because there hasn't been any other convincing arguments otherwise. If you give the capitalists an inch, they'll eventually take it all. You cannot allow capital to accumulate to the degree that it wields real political power.

The real choice is capitalism or democracy.
