It's a meme because some people don't understand that monetary system isn't political.

So that the greed can donate to kindness¯\_(ツ)_/¯ What a pity

[-] rchive@lemm.ee -5 points 2 years ago

Capitalists would argue that between capitalism and socialism, capitalism is the one that better accounts for greed, as it generally has laws to con strain it but otherwise uses it to generate all the production that's the hallmark of modern society, division of labor, economy of scale, technological advancement, etc. Socialism doesn't really deal with greed, it just sort of wishes it away. That's why so many societies that have started down the socialist path have become at best poor and at worst authoritarian murder factories like the Soviet Union, Maoist China, Chavist Venezuela, the Khmer Rouge's Cambodia, etc.
