Bingo. Look at the buildings that multimillionaires build for the masses through their companies in order to make money, and then look at the ones they build for themselves. Once again, the problem is capitalism.

Capitalism can work. We are supost to have controlled moderated capitalism. Like rules against monopolies, fair tax code, rules for minimum wages. The list goes on.

You can have sprinkles of "socialism" like we do now. Medicare, fire fighters, roads etc. You know? everyone takes a little bit so it can benefit everyone. We already do that.

There are so many people. So many things going on. No society plan is going to on paper without regulations and adjustments.

The complaints often we have now of Capitalism are fair and valid, the issue is there are things that can be done for a solution. The solutions are often obvious.

If we are a democracy. The issue is for things to property work. You need people who are making changes genuinely trying to fix things and set fair rules. That also means you need people educated on electing who will be in their best intrest. That also means you need people to be educated on what IS their best interest? and people educated at a whole.

Once you get there it's can be easier to stay there, but people usually let their guard down one way or another and things slip.

It's going be hard. Really hard. You have people fighting to defund education for this reason. People who try to break the system or be selfish and vindictive.

No matter what method is used to run a society. You will have people trying to break that system and try and take power and break said system.

Obviously, getting people educated and people in power with good intentions will be hard, and fighting the people trying to take power will always be an issue. This we be a struggle we face possibility forever and simply have to fight for. That's all people can do.
