Comment on ByteDance won't sell TikTok, would rather pull it from the US
Railing5132@lemmy.world 2 months agoIt may be simplistic, but the short version of what you seem to be saying at the beginning is: “every ‘-ism’ is inherently neutral until people get involved.”
Which is why I believe no system that is conceived by humans will ever be not exploited.

This is very true, a knife isn’t inherently evil.
Though some systems are more susceptible to manipulation, dictatorships, free market capitalism and feudalism are some of the worst culprit’s.
Sadly whilst we occupy the word in clusters of people we must have a system of governess

Agree. Thinking about it, the romantic in me wants to believe that the best system was probably the small indigenous tribal units. Collective social goals, group welfare, close-knit often matriarch families, conservation mindset…
A bit hard to pull off in the 21st century world though. :/

Sounds like primitive communism, its dreamy but wouldn’t take much for a few tribes to consolidate power leading to a form of feudalism and class issue between different tribes.

I was going to include the social democracies of northern/central Europe as another better path, but it was really late and I was tired,and now I lost my train of thought. The Nordic countries, the Netherlands… while no system is perfect and every country has its challenges, these seem to exceed most on the measures that should matter.
