Reply to comment by Hadren-Blackwater in Belarus Leader Bans Price Rises to Tackle Inflation by AlxIp

"soviet economy" You do know that price caps have been around long before the soviets right?

Gee I wonder why the Earth is dying from only 200 years of capitalism. McDonalds on every corner and 1% owning the most they have ever had in the history of the world. Such a "win"

The world has grown to a population that should not even be possible. How do you think that happens if things are worse than ever. You need to study and stop listening to NPR. Like it or not, the human race has never had more abundance.

"NPR" wow you reactionaries think people treat NPR like Fox News.

You need to pull your head out of your trailer park mindset and see what capitalism is doing to the environment, and our culture. Wages have stagnated since the 70's productivity is higher than ever before. The oceans are turning into acid and capitalism has zero ability to combat these because it's profit at all costs.

Lol. You have no idea who I am. Stop it. I listen to NPR all the time, I don’t listen to Fox. NPR is unabashedly anti capitalist. To quote the story I was listening to a few days ago about inflation “companies have gotten addicted to sky high profits…” They have zero understanding of how economics work. If you think humans suffered less before capitalism, you’re delusional.

"Economics" = infinite resources. pollution and social alienation magically go away. Profits at all costs. Human extinction due to the capitalist machine finally seeing us as limits to its profit making ability.

The Earth has been through much worse than this. It's humans that are going to be undone by our own greed.

Biodiversity will return once humans are gone.
