@kaptainwalcott@mastodon.social There are a alot of what ifs and speculation there. Sadly thats also where the conversation is likely to break down since we probably each hold our views and it would be hard to make any solid scientific case for either without many hours of debate and studies and slides :)

But it does seem we take very different approaches and goals.. You seem to want to see a transition into socialism. I want to see a transition away from pure socialism or capitalism and into a system that actually works (As i dont see either of those working in their pure forms).

To give a oversimplification of where that is.. generally capitalism works when there is a free market with both finite and variable demandand supply. A true free market. This works for some things like iron or Pens,.

However this breaks down when the market is no longer "free". an example of this being healthcare which has infinite demand and finit supply (a person will give up everything they own to live for jut one more day if they had to).
