"OK so look, Capitalism is right wing.
Period.
If you are pro-capitalism, you are Right Wing.
There is no pro-capitalist Left. That’s a polite fiction in the US that no one can afford any longer as the ecosystem is actually collapsing around us."
Whatever social safety nets and programs they have will be dismantled as Western capitalism devours itself. As is happening all around Europe

We already see a lot of talk of Cutting back on social spending in favor of military spending.. There’s also the pension and retirement changes most of Europe has already implemented to some degree. It’s likely we’ll see changes as drastic as what the UK are doing right now in the coming years, specially if the war in Ukraine doesn’t go the way of NATO.
The changes in pension spending all over Europe are caused by demographic changes, not capitalism. There are more and more retirees becoming older and older, while the working population stays the same or shrinks. A socialist state would have the exact same problems to pay for that.

So I make the fairly mild claim that capitalists will destroy the public sector when profits go down. You ask for sources of that claim (even though I’m just making a prediction based on past trends). I then show you that these talks of cutting back spending are already happening, and you dismiss it because I can’t predict the future? And I am the biased one here?
