Costco is pretty much the only “good” giant conglomerated multinational corporation it seems.

    It’s just that capitalism rewards the worst actions taken by the worst people.

    Um, unregulated garbage late stage capitalism sure. Maybe that’s all capitalism, because it does seem like it degenerates to that in every case. 🤷

    The only way to build a better one is by fighting for it.

    That’s exactly what democratic socialism is. It’s the fight for a better world.

    It’s funny to me that folks can easily see the flaws in “the other side” but never their own side. Like, pretty obviously communism sucks in reality (the theory is well meaning) because you “have” to go through single-party socialism first, and once people get power they’re unlikely to ever give it up, but just as obviously capitalism sucks in reality because if a business has too much money and no government is enforcing antitrust it can buy up all of the competition.

    That’s why you’re better off with a compromise. That compromise, IMO, is democratic socialism.
