    you have to structure capitalism assuming every single person is a greedy sociopath hellbent on fucking over everyone else to make money.

    So… Social Democracy? Which they also oppose? 🤔

      Not exactly, the argument (is incoherent and insane) is something like “you can’t have too much democracy and centralized power because people in power are always corrupt.” ✨Somehow✨ laissez-faire capitalism is supposed to naturally account for corruption and sociopathy because the free market forces(???) them to do good things because people are able to spend their money somewhere else. Always non-violent btw ❤️

        Lol their argument is lame then.

        You can’t trust a democratically-elected government, but can somehow trust non-elected CEOs? 🤣

      • But it’s true. Psychopaths tend to end up in CEO, and other leadership positions more often, as they are not afraid to literally kill to get ahead.
