The shifting politics of inequality and the class ceiling
PhantOS:
i dont understand why nobody wants a mixed economy. all people want is either enslave the rich or enslave the poor
why not enslave all at the same time? capitalism works

this is actually specifically what i want. corporations cannot be expected to protect the people, and a state with the ability to act like a corporation (an early-stage communist regime) is just a corporation that publicly writes the laws. communism relies on the idea of a state that prepares for a shift, but part of the preparations involve creating a totalitarian state that is allowed to wage terror on dissenters. this isn't stalinism. this marxist-leninism. the state must fear the people, and the corporations must fear the state. to gain the peoples' favor is to ward off the state, and thus the balance between socialism and capitalism is found.

yeah, it was. doesn't justify post-war atrocities done by the communist regimes, though. nor does it justify atrocities done by the CIA, before anyone tries to strawman me on that too

its a little bit of everything and that's why it works. just take the good out of socialism, communism, fascism and libertarianism and you got a perfectly balanced and regulated system where everyone has opportunity and safety regardless of their social status
