Nah, that's like saying capitalism is a scam.
Copyright and capitalism in general is fine. It's when billion dollar corporations use political donations to control regulations
Like, imagine a year after Hangover came out. 20 production companies all released Hangover 2.
Imagine it was a movie by a small Indie studio so a big studio paid off the original actors to be in their knockoff.
Or an animated movie that used the same digital assets.
We need some copyright protection, just not a never ending system
Capitalism is a scam.
It's an unsustainable system predicted on infinite growth that necessitates unconscionable inequality.
You dropped the "unregulated".
Socialism is still capitalism. It's just regulated and we use taxes to fund social programs.
And the second sentence is more caused by not taxing stock trades. If we had a tax that decreases the longer a stock is held, it would prioritize long term investment and companies would care about more than the next months earnings.
All shit that can be solved with common sense regulations.
socialism has nothing to do with taxes
Why do all the accounts with "commie" in the name have no idea about any economic systems?
I don't think any of them actually support communism either, it's just weird I block so many and they always keep showing up
there is a cure for political illiteracy
