How would socialism prevent power from accumulating? Liberals could probably do the same with capital.

There should be a working class we in capitalism but I don't see it. Why do you think that it exists and that it is not dispersed?

For liberalism, see sibling comment.

we need to overthrow the state

Capitalism is making sure that there is not much of a we.

Liberalism requires individual freedom, including free markets. Capitalism ends with monopolies that destroy free markets.

It is not the same. Liberal societies must want regulated markets.

I would say only a subset of liberals accept raw Capitalism. Liberals need free markets which is a contradiction with Capitalism.

To have less capitalistic structures, people would have to support something with no immedite benefits. Just waiting for Capitalism's decline is like waiting for Reddit's decline. It's always there but never so much that the majority switches. Something is missing that people act on their own.

Workers can prefer to live in a capitalist society if they end up with owning more, or just hope so. So they can be capitalist despite not owning capital. Of course that ignores the distinction between the role as capitalist and the believe.

In general, people don't value being in control. If they would, people would have moved to Lemmy.

There is still the opportunity that those who care actively push Lemmy beyond its natural growth to make it competitive with Reddit. But at what cost? Then people would choose Lemmy, but not by conviction.

Similarly, people could stop being capitalists by being able to work in a country with a better offer. But that wouldn't make them anti-capitalist.

It's like Lemmy and Reddit, people want the promise of more content.

In theory Lemmy could be the more active network. What does it take to make that real?

it's Trump

For an Alzheimer guy he is executing quite elaborate plans. The problem is that we reset every day and blame Trump anew. By now we should know the names of the top planners and advisers and their goals.

What limits their migration further north in western Eurasia?

I’m not personally yet seeing signs that the logic of MAD is failing

Reagan called for a system that would end MAD and render nuclear weapons obsolete.[2] Elements of the program reemerged in 2019 under the Space Development Agency (SDA).

Add to that the thoughts behind tactical nukes.

We are witnessing the death throes of a wounded animal with suicidally inflated ego.

Unfortunately, this wounded animal also has nuclear weapons, so it’s a very dangerous time for all of us.

So we agree on what is going to happen?
