the left button would be better represented by saying 'capitalism doesn't work because it naturally brings about a scenario in which the most selfish people have the most power'.

@Zest @freemo i would just simplify that to say "capitalism makes people selfish" and "socialism encourages people to be selfless"

but also like... if by "socialism" you guys are thinking Soviet Russia and Communist Cuba, then yeah that ain't it. it's anarchy or barbarism for me.

Socialism always refers to places like soviet russia... As several prime ministers of europe have already went public stating multiple times, the EU and its member countries are not a socialism, they are all capitalist nations

Jacobin has a great "ABCs of Socialism" primer for those new to the concept,

and even more importantly CrimethInc has a pamphlet called "To Change Everything" that you can find digitally here:
