"Marxism" (Marx's analysis of how the 19th-century economy worked) and socialism just say regular people should have more control over society's economic priorities, in order for regular people to receive the benefits of society's economic priorities.
That's really all it says.

the wealthiest make the decisions about where society should apply its resources. That is literally what "capitalism" means. The wealthy (capital) decide where investment goes, instead of government ("We the People"). So those investments are make to benefit the wealthy instead of We the People.
Democracy "We the People") should decide how we run our economies, and where we invest.

Elon Musk is a fascist…
Peter Thiel is a fascist…
Donald Trump is a fascist…
Isn’t it weird how those most successful at capitalism are fascists? It’s almost as if capitalism is entirely compatible with and possibly even favours fascism or something…

Two centuries of #bankfailures in a single chart... and the extraordinary period of stability between 1950 & 1970.
Whatever #bankers may claim about the 'problem' of regulation & the hand of the state, as @RichardJMurphy pointed out this morning - this is the period where Kenynsianism shaped public policy & delivered financial stability...
If you wanted an illustration of why #capitalism works best when it is regulated carefully, this would be it.

Folks: So what browser do you recommend, then?

More on the #TwitterMigration and #Mastodon's growth by @pluralistic.
It's hard, being older and set in many ways, to change. But it's necessary to at least understand the need for change.

I never did an #introduction!
Hi, I'm Max. I live in #NYC and do #journalism at PCMag where I cover #infosec, #security, and #privacy. I also write reviews of #VPN and professionally complain about #capitalism. I'm the Unit Chair of the ZDCG #union and moonlight as a #labor organizer. If you want to learn about how to unionize your workplace, plz DM me. I play #banjo badly and think about #medieval literature. I'm spending too much money on #fountainpens.

The Intercept with Naomi Klein: *Coronavirus Capitalism — and How to Beat It*
https://invidio.us/watch?v=niwNTI9Nqd8
"Governments around the world are busily exploiting the coronavirus crisis to push for no-strings-attached corporate bailouts and regulatory rollbacks.
“I've spent two decades studying the transformations that take place under the cover of disaster,” writes Naomi Klein. “I’ve learned that one thing we can count on is this: During moments of cataclysmic change, the previously unthinkable suddenly becomes reality.”
In recent decades, that change has mainly been for the worst — but this has not always been the case. And it need not continue to be in the future.
This video is about the ways the still-unfolding Covid-19 crisis is already remaking our sense of the possible. The Trump administration and other governments around the world are busily exploiting the crisis to push for no-strings-attached corporate bailouts and regulatory rollbacks. …"
