      Show me a working alternative that’s actually been implemented in the real and I’ll happily shift.

      Until then I’ll happily stick with a well-regulated, Nordic-style market economy.

        What you described is literally a working alternative to capitalism. Nobody said it cannot contain any capitalistic elements.

        As for a further alternative - how about even more social programs? We all know the countries could easily afford it, so that’s an easy step forward.

        Zapatista territories and Rojava (until recently dissolved by force), and a bunch of smaller examples worldwide (including many tribes that live more traditionally/non-capitalist).

          They are definitely proof that alternatives exist. Whether they can scale to governing a state of disperate cultures and peoples is a different question.

          But you did answer with some real alternatives, which I’ll look into more. Thank you.
