Of course it encourages innovation, but you seem to think that innovation is exclusive to capitalism.

nearly every country that exists, uses a capitalist socioeconomic system

One of the big reasons is the US “spreading democracy”, among others

no unchecked system is ever going to be

This is the point. It’s been allowed to go so out of control that people want radical change now

capitalism allowed to happen as a result of a free market

Capitalism != market economy

Cool, so we agree it’s not that capitalism is the problem- it’s that it’s been unchecked that’s the problem.

Makes me wonder what unchecked socialism would look like. Maybe we should ask Bulgaria.

Unchecked capitalism? How do you check it? Please explain, oh great intelligence. (Before you say regulation I need you to think).

[-] Rhoeri@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

How do you check ANY rampant system?

You think socialism is impervious to corruption? If so, Bulgaria would like a word with you.

[-] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Did workers control the means of production in Bulgaria at the time you are talking about or was it state capitalism disguised as socialism? Maybe we should talk about that.
