Sorry, but where exactly do I propose great man of history theory? I seriously don’t understand what you mean with your comment? Can you explain your intent to me please?

Maybe it’s a good starting place that I explain what I meant in more detail.

The original post was a meme on lemmy.ml about how communism would be the antidote to pedophilia. Another commentator provided Lavrentiy Beria as example of a rapist and pedophile in the Soviet Union, which contradicts the original meme (And no I will not go into a discussion now that the Soviet Union was never communist but only socialist, that is one layer too deep for a meme). I then provided Stalin himself as another powerful pedophile in the Soviet Union as another counterpoint to the meme.

That mention of Stalin’s pedophilia was then deleted by a .ml mod as misinformation, since they don’t want people to see how their idol behaved in reality. And I object to that censorship about how the dictator of the Soviet Union behaved and therefore made this post here.

I mean both can be true at the same time. The USA are definitely weird with their prudity but that doesn’t make the lolicon stuff in Japan better.

No, capitalism is that the idea that brings the most money will succeed. And not investing in the future of your product for sure doesn’t bring the most money after a certain time. The problem is that the current Epstein class values money now higher than money in ten years.

Capitalism isn’t about caring about others and (at least in theory) not about giving those with most money even more money. That is just the reality and logic if you think about it more than 5 minutes. But again: in theory the self correcting hand of the market is exactly how it should work.

While I think we agree on it being shitty as hell, I don’t think your statement is true. Capitalism is working just fine and as defined in theory.

Old companies that don’t innovate are being replaced by newer, more innovative companies. It’s working exactly as advertised. The part you and me don’t like is that millions of people are going to be thrown into poverty by those lunatics at the helm of the companies for their own short term gain instead of the well-being of everyone. But that is not contradicting capitalism itself.
